I too have no investment in whether its cast or pressed. Tell you guys one thing,,,if proven they're cast,,they're not going to worth a dime,,but first things first:

what needs to be done is a little experimentation. But first:

1. The flaw on the sig rune is big. Not even a magnifying glass is needed. You can see it while its being worn! SO, if cast and so easy to fix why wasn't it? The thinking is because its on the die and once there it stays there.

2, we shouldn't get hung up on open or closed engraving. It's been proven that its possible that it could have been done either way ....

3. for those that say there are other ways of manufacture the question has been asked a couple times,,what are the other ways?

- for an experiment I'd like to see a die pressed ring ,,something simple a WestWall or similar. Have a look at 700, then 900 and lets see what can be seen. Antonio,,do you have anything to use?
