You sure it is handforged Paul? Looks like the coldshuts that are still available today...

I would sure like to see what that chain is connected to.....

Paul, at least they left the complete chain for the trap on the end, off of the Clevis/ Cold shut. Don't know why they just didn't leave the chain on the trap and connect the extra chain to the ring, unless they were addiment about having a larger ring on the end of the chain. Trapper mods and their reasoning are always interesting.

I agree with Bruce. Kind of an odd way to extend the chain, but at least all the original parts are there.
That cold shut could have been blacksmith made but that style has been around a long time and still available today...

Here's one on a kenwood #15 with a trapper made clevis. Still a quality piece that unscrews.
