There are hordes of Oriental-American crosses that come peacomb and are called Roundheads which contain not a drop of the original Allen bloodline.So now it is used more as a generic term for pea comb fowl than as the name of a specific breed. Most of the Roundhead gamefowl around were straight comb. The ubuiquitous Boston cock had very strong peacomb genes to give that characteristic to his offspring and descendants for generations to come to this day.
Some Roundhead fowl were known to be Irish Whitehackles-bred just like the more common English Whitehackles with pea combs. Oriental crosses increased the size of the Roundhead to around 5 lbs. Fred Saunders and crossed Roundheads over some hens that were a blend of Redquill and Grist Grady. These Oriental bloodlines were then added to the early English fowl. Over the years, in the 50s to the 70s, a close focus on breeding pure was made for most Roundheads. Until a cross with power hitting fowl like Hatches increased the winnings of the breed that it became a de- facto mating choice to infuse pure Roundhead with power Hatch or other power gamefowl like the Sweater.
