Petzval DIY

Hello, all
A question for the specialists of the group:
What is actually the characteristic of the Petzval lens, old or new?
Sharp only in the center, little contrast overall, swirl bokeh?
I try to create these properties with a projection triplet lens, where I vary the distance between the first and second lens. For variable swirl I use an aperture between the third lens and the camera adapter.
Am I on the right path there? I will post photos when my work is complete.

Just look on flicker or read on forums, there is plenty about that!
Looking forward to seeing your results from your DIY lens!!
