I've come across some cowhorn irons in a pile of bits. I don't recognise them, can anyone help please?

They appear to be fabricated which suggests that they may have been made by a competent fettler.

Hi Robert, hope your well.

The front irons on my cup model are similar, in that they appear to be angle iron that has been streached and one lip removed in part - however they are longer.

Does the curved part with the bolts fit the curve of the cow horns on a seven?

Hello John, 

  yes the holes do line up with the cowhorns.
