I have two sets, one is the older style with the chamfered edge and the other is a mixed box unfortunately.
The pedal axles are still attached because I can't get them out.!

Oh man, bummer.
Made me sit and ponder whether I could handle differently chamfered cranks of the same model. I concluded you probably were and would live a richer and fuller life :D
And I’d already been knobbing on about dome headed nuts in the dms. Lols
What have you tried to get them out? I cracked a rib trying to get the fixed cup out of that Gillott and gave up and took it to Argos.

Oh wow that's a great looking site, I'll look forward to giving that some proper attention.
Yes agreed re the earlier chamfered cranks, @falconvitesse kindly has one of each in his set to show the difference :)
I managed to find one of those single rings, 48t 3/32 in reasonable used condition. I'd like a 1/8 and in better condition, but I've found them hard to come by - rare and not easy to pin down with search terms.
I've been meaning to weigh them to see the difference to 49d, but I've got these steel 49a with a TA double to go on a 1948 Hobbs.
Edit: fyi the weighing is just for fun, not because I would turn away these beauties for being too heavy :)
