This is similar to 11038 but the points of the star are orientated 'on the hour' rather than 'on the half hour'

    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.
