Custom-cast brass hardware is finally here! I just did a run of federal shield brackets and hooks, and some different kinds of Boucher-style bracket shoes (for single and double-tension models). In the photo below, the shoe, hook, and nut on the right is the original ca. 1870 hardware, and on the left is my reproduction, along with one of the single-tension Boucher shoes.
