Antonio,,,there is no way to get that big flaw out of the Sig rune on a die unless you did a weld,,which they wouldn't do. Grinding, files etc. would make a bigger mess period!. Now if it was cast it would only appear on the first batch.
For me with several 100 private purchase rings from the 3rd reich and owning tooling it comes down to whats the most common sense way... Train someone for 20 min and they can work a press. Lostwax/Investment cast is very time consuming. It wastes material and there's lots of mistakes... This wax model would have had to be wax soldered to a tree. Then slip poured in. Then a burn out would be performed. Then the mold gets cracked open and the ring gets cut off from that stem. Then all the hand work.. I just can't imagine Gahrs people going thru that for a simple ring..
So would the HR be cast flat? Would it be cast in the round?
I would really like to see a die pressed ring under extreme magnification. Is there any way you can do that?
