Raven2020 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 11/04/2020 4:18 pm Someone mentioned to me the terminology of a Rockwell test mark, so I'm definitely not going to rule out error just yet, due to the fact the holes are all consistant. My camera does it no justice at all. Wont get my hopes up though. Thank you for the replies!! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I'm quite sure that the hardness testing theory was debunked. This definitely looks like damage to me.
