Silver No.1 Post Drill

Featured Replies

Picked up a Silver No.1 post drill that I'd like to clean up and hang on the wall of the shop. Works well and is mostly complete except for the auto feed arm/pawl. I know finding the part would be a miracle so I'd like to forge one as close to original as possible, problem is I can't find photos with enough detail to do this. Anyone here have this drill? I could use a few detailed photos and measurements of said arm and pawl. Here's a pic of my drill in its current state:

Here is the part I need:

I could figure out the length but do not know if there is an offset above and below the bolt or what the backside looks like. I know it's a longshot but any help would be appreciated.

After a bit more evaluation, it seems simpler than I originally thought. There is a cam on the gear, and an adjustable follower on the lower arm.  Would still like the info but I'm going to mock something up and see what I can do. 

I think I have a little bigger silver I will check and if I do I will get pics and make a pattern for you.
