    The original text says Schlagkopf: Eisen, geschmiedet, geschnitten (punching head: iron, forged, cut) which is exactly that. Shaping by hammering and bending would be treiben / getrieben in German.

        Yes, as one can see, the shaft is hollow. So one or two sheet of forged metal, bent and chased and finally soldered (or even welded?).

        Edit: I didn’t notice you were talking about the shaft from the very beginning. Sorry, too early in the morning.
