<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 432289, member: 12965"]Here are the same two pics, except I flipped the reverse pic vertically, which then shows us the allignment of the reverse to the obverse, without using your imagination. Notice how the holes line up, including the little hole being exactly where the other little hole is? Plus, the reference line is the same (use your imagination to correct for the slight difference in angle):</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/3416/obvxk2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/1391/reverseto3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As to the fifth hole on the reverse, I can't tell for sure if it was caused by the same tool or not, lil-lone is it actually a hole or maybe just a circulation gouge?

However, the pics above do help to show that one tool probably made the holes with one punch (four hole punch of some sort). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
