So much easier to use a press than to forge them by hand!  $25 is a great deal compared to the hours of sweating over an anvil, and a vise.

Nice looking trunnion caps!

I admit that hand forged would be more authentic but who would pay for that much skilled labor ?

Just so happens, I need a pair. 1.75".  Would a angled cheek (naval carriage) design be out of the question?
