moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 1:04 pm I don't see any grip marks which would likely be present if this was sanded down on the edges. It doesn't look like an acid job, either. I'll see what others might come up with, because I'm not seeing an obvious answer. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 2:01 pm I think Coop got it! I covered the light with a mylar sheet and took a pic of the edge details. Pretty clear that a tool was used to file away the edge. Not sure how they kept it so round, but this one seems solved. Report this Post to the Staff
