I disagree with your rule of thumb. Gahr did cast. Nazi pole tops was but one of their cast items.
Casting aluminum is completely different story. Different technology and completely different equipment involved. Still have not seen any cast jewelry piece from Gahr.

If you refer to pic you posted in previous post it is not unorthodox process it was common thing for die struck production. I also do use it for some signet ring manufacturing on regular basis
P.S. I would love to learn about "complicated and forgotten methods" Please point direction where to look for them.
There are less original rings than you think, much less...
Please point direction where to look for them.
