I have a chassis nose piece that is cracked - I will photograph and post it up, once I remember where it is...

I have just seen a front nosepiece with two cow-horn holes and a continuous flange where the side-rails rivet on which would seem to date it to 1923.
It looks to have a 'flash' line around it which might indicate a forging.
