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.
The flaw is on MASTER PIECE, which can be from metal (silver, metal, gold, bronze etc.) From this master piece are making molds. The flaw stays there... See my book: http://www.totenkopfring.cz/master.JPG
Im writing there about molds. There were 4 variants. Variant from 1940-1944 is same as 1938-1940, just little bit repaired. And thats reason of flaw in Sig rune. Jeweller made a too deep notch, when he tried to highlight the contours...
Transitional ring is the myth, it is Variant of mold no. 3.
How can I put foto here?
