<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 4665977, member: 77077&quot;]You would expect the two pieces would line up perfectly together. There must have been internal stress in the metal caused by striking. Once the two halves were separated from each other they could return to a lower stress shape thus causing them to not fit together very well. You would think after 1900 years the stress would have been relieved by annealing by now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
