I do know the odds are very low it is a real one but I keep thinking everything looks good and any replica as soon as it was cast the forger(or legitimate replica company) would see the lump(it is obvious)and never try to pass it off as real or even a collector peice without removing it or throwing it back into the melt pot,I could have taken the lump off myself if I wanted too but I'm not going to fool with it incase it's real and I don't want to wreck it incase it's historical and I'm not here to fool anybody,I'm a honest guy and put it up here as found.
