[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 7748535, member: 59677"]You are confusing things. A chopmark is not a test cut. A chopmark is a chop, a Chinese identification stamp. Small, hurriedly done, and thus possibly hard to read, but signed nevertheless. If the jeweler in the town, two money lenders and the owner of the big dry goods store all say it's good - Who are you to argue with them? Then it gets to your town and the same thing happens. .[/QUOTE]
