Can I ask a question about the manufacture of sheet metal brass titles? I can easily see how they could have been cut out with a jeweller's saw and finished with a file - indeed I have made a couple this way for a display - but it does seem laborious. Were several sandwiched together for efficiency? Picture 3 shows a very neat way of folding back the brass to make lugs, and this one doesn't look cut by hand - could it have been stamped out?
