Bought this from a Florida show years ago Florida, you say? I wonder if it's a Silverstone creation? http://goccf.com/t/448071Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@HondoBoguss, quite possible, though the seller didn't realize it was fake either and gave me a full refund.

You should see about getting it back, Vorpaledged - at a discount, of course. I have the feeling that Silverstones will become sought-after fakes.

thanks, guys...it's cast, not struck as all cobs were, ...dan Sedwick had it featured for a while on his "Modern Pirates" (fake cobs to avoid) section for a while ... a $75 (in 1999) lesson for me ...
