Looks like it was sanded/filed off but it is very smooth. doesn't show signs of being filed/sanded. It is flat with the surface and not beveled. Was thinking if it was filed/sanded, wouldn't the inside field also show some type of damage. was thinking possible Cud - but dang that would be some Cud - lol let me know what you think it could be.

However it was done, it is definitely PMD.

Spence see what you are saying - didnt notice that before. nice pickup- never thought of a hammer. i know its not worth anything, but I think i'll keep it - its unusually ugly lol Report this Post to the Staff
