Renatus.
Here is a piece of copper alloy that I have shown in another topic it is in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in the Netherlands and I would consider it to maybe be a piece of scrap metal left over from making just such bell caps, in fact in the middle there are two holes that even overlap and yet two caps were even made from those areas that I have done myself in the past.
However one of the caps winds up with just a very small crescent missing from it's edge but it can still be used, overall one can see just how these caps have been hammered out all over the sheet.
