I am looking for someone who can manufacture a set of steel caulking irons for the Duyfken replica at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Essentially they seem to be similar to a cold chisels of different widths and thicknesses but with more tapered lines

I thought they were more like a bolster.
Do they have to look right or work right or both?

They have a variety of different shapes for different situations and the wider ones do looklike a bolster.
The caulking mallets are quite interesting, they have slits and holes in them to tune them for when there are a lot of caulkers working together
