[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 700201, member: 13650"]I have to say whatever is on the edges is so unnoticeable that it's inconclusive. Fine, perpendicular (like reeding) scratches that are barely visible under 10x. Could not pick them out of a lineup by edges alone. No flaws. I'm going to have 11 of these after I get them all. I may just send you a couple to check out for yourself. What am I going to do with this many anyway? I plan to store them in a roll with a large, fake/replica label on the tube. I plan to keep for educational purposes. Although, they should be destroyed. I did not notice the depression under the buffalo in hand but it was noticeable in that pic. I can see it on that one in hand now. But, [B]that was the only 1 out of the 8 that had that depression. [/B]As I said, all 8 had the raised piece of metal on the cheek. So they were at least made with the same tool or same copy of tool. I am interested to see if the next ones I get are the same as well. The tail is a blob of metal and is not right. You are correct. The edge of the raised fur above the front leg is not right either. If they are cast, this must be a harder detail to duplicate.[/QUOTE]
