A bow shackle has the wide rounded body, so it takes several lines at once and copes with a pull coming in at an angle. A dee is narrower and wants the load straight along its length. If more than one thing is attaching, take the bow.
Forging works the metal so the grain follows the shape of the shackle, rather than solidifying however it lands in a mould. In practice that means it deforms before it breaks instead of letting go without warning. For anything carrying a working load, forged is the one to choose.
No. Stainless shackles without a stamped rating are not rated gear, and no working load is marked on this one. Recovery and lifting need certified equipment with a marked limit. Use this for anchoring, rigging, canopies and general marine connections, which is what it is built for.
