Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:56 pm I agree, cast. Note the heavily filed edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 8:26 pm I agree with @ks that there is a ground edge, most likely to hide a casting seam. Definitely try to get your money back on this one.
