Antonio,, we trying to apply science without doing it the right way..

IF there is another way they can be cast I too would like to hear it. Those rings weren't lostwax/investment cast...
Check my photo - where was the wax stem cut off from the HR? *Also I disagree and we'll have to agree to disagree about the Sig rune flaw. For me its gigantic. Files etc would only make it bigger. It can be seen while wearing the ring,,

Really I appreciate your work. It's just not fully scientific yet.. Where is your 'standard'. Micro shots of a pressed/struck ring VS the cast ring? Hapur made a great point.. You neatly saw a cast ring in half and a pressed ring in half you would see big differences. We would have to see something like that...

. As it is now,,if you have a die sturck HR its a fake. They can't be cast and pressed,,its either one or another. OR we're missing something entirely.......

Antonio your a valued member here. Always good to have you aboard. I think a bit more scientific standards and follow up is needed etc. and we're all hungry to see it!
