Just a thought, but that hinge looks a little like an e-clip. There are tiny ones available:
E-Clips & E-Rings | External Retaining Rings | G.L. Huyett
E-clips and e-rings are circlip-style external retaining clips for tubes and shafts. We stock e-clips in many designs, sizes, materials, and finishes.

Hello Lawrence. I believe you have a milling machine, and if this is the case you may want to try the way I would do, I made a hand scetch (sorry, I am not a draftsman). In my opinion, it shouldn't be too difficult. The difficult part to find a suitable brass piece and end mills.
hope you understand what I mean. If you have any questions, do let me know. Good luck!

I am pretty sure, that you can find some of these hinges as photo-etched parts on the market.
If I find some - I will post the link

I was looking at one of my favorite model building log of his building of his Creole
I produced the hinges with cut and file out of a copper plate

Lieber Johann, wenn Du weiterhin solche Kostbarkeiten hier zeigst, kannst Du von mir aus in jedem Maßstab bauen! Aber trotzdem: Brav, brav! Das Zittern

Yes - this is a typical element for photo etching - if there is nothing already available from the market,
it would be a good subject for a a small number production of a modeler producing photo etched parts on demand.
Maybe in scale 1:36 and 1:48 one plate with a bigger number of normal hinges for gunports, plus hinges for oar-ports, small hinges for the ventilation ports and in addition one or two pair of horse-shoes for the keel - great would be also the running arabic numbers for the water-level markings at the stem

i have a bunch of these
these are oar locks i found them when i cleaned out Harold Hahn's stuff. looks like he might of used them as hinges. The plastic bag they were in was from a long out of business model company.

Hello Uwe, This sounds very interesting and it sure would make things very handy. Would you have any idea as to the cost of a single Photo Etched sheet, just curious. I do have to be a bit careful as I am retired and living on a pension, ENJOY.
