A friend acquired a nice english ML double shotgun - not a name one would recognize. Very solid piece, he didn't have a wrench to fit the nipples, so I made one. After removing the nipples; two things stood out. 1- being Platinum used on a shotgun (usually seen in match rifles), 2- being the cross cut.

What is the reason for the cross cut?

Don't know, can only assume spreading the flame?
Just another example of the stuff they tired 150 years ago - everything.
