<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 2982958, member: 90102"]Laser cutting silver is the hardest thing in the world to do. I worked with a guy that repaired the lasers, and he said that they have silver-plated mirrors, since silver is the most reflective metal in the world. To cut silver they have to use copper-plated mirrors. They can't cut metal that is too thick because it transfers heat so well it will warp and melt whatever they are cutting. That's why I don't think it was cut with a laser. You can also see the blade marks when you loupe it at an angle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
