Why don't we see other types of cast ring examples with a seam if this was a common practice?
*Also if these were in fact cast round wouldn't you occasionally cast one which was the right size for the order where no resizing was necessary thus making cutting apart and a seam unnecessary? But we all know of no legitimate rings without the seam.
Just some more food for thought.

Also right for 100%. When I casted them I had made 5 or 6 rubers diferent sizes with skulls attached. I do believe Gahrs firm could afford same amount of rubbers too
. After all the hassle with touching up and hand finishing you need to engrave. You sure can engrave in round ring too, but that add's more difficulties to do it nice and alligned. So why would somebody skilled enoughgo hard way for lesser quality? Was the Gahr dumb? Do not think so.
