<p>[QUOTE="bradgator2, post: 4517512, member: 110679"]So, I will admit it took some time to convince myself this was raised metal and not a scratch. It’s like looking at a 3D drawing that you can twist in your brain. Even though I think it would be impossible to make a jagged scratch like and make it go on the rim and across letters. But, I was able to shine a light on it at a steep angle and then put some mag to it. If it’s raised metal.... the the reflected light on the mark will be on the same side as the light source. If it was a scratch or trench, then the light reflection would be on the opposite side. Hopefully this pic proves that:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1119206[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
