    I suspect this is stamped :)

    I now understand why there are these 'modified apple core' brasses. In 1911, on welfare grounds, it was made illegal to fit brasses with bells to horse harness. So owners would remove the bells an replace with something else, similarly the manufacturer would adapt unsold stock and unused 'blanks'. Similarly with the many 'beehive' brasses that had bells attached to the apex, with the bell removed the usual solution appears to have been to stuff a bit of ribbon in the remaining hole.

    OK, counting is not my strong point, there are of course only 9 petals/points on the flower/star.

    The orientation of the central star could appear to be a trivial reason to class this as a different design to 11038. For similar cast crescents, where the star is soldered to the central bar, I would agree. However for these stamped brasses it would require making a new die to emboss the shape and a new punch to cut out around it. I would argue that amount of work justifies classing it as a different design, a conscious decision was made to produce it (why? as it is unlikely most people would even notice), it is not just a whim or an accident of how the star was orientated when assembled.
