<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 4563498, member: 10461&quot;]Scratches, even when <i>mostly</i> straight, usually follow a more random zigzag or crooked pattern, where as adjustment marks (which were made with a file, I believe) are almost always a series of parallel lines.&nbsp; Also, since the filing was done before the strike, you can often tell that by examining the lines closely.&nbsp; The edges of a scratch are like a raw wound in the metal.&nbsp; Adjustment marks which have then been subjected to the pressure of dies and struck over, tend to be more &quot;squished out&quot; and less jagged as a result.&nbsp; The edges of the &quot;scratch&quot; will be softer looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
