Archibald Knox Chest progress - hinges

Blacksmith Hinges - I found 4 hinges in an antiques shop in Henley over the weekend. They are the right style I need for my Knox chest. The fixed part of the hinge is too short to wrap around the edge of the chest, (see picture 2) so I will have to change the design and surface mount them. I will split the door along the line of the hinge pins, leaving about an inch fixed to the case. Picture 3. The are not like the ones on the AK chest but as near as I can get I think. I am not equipped to make make own metal hinges at this time.
