<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4390175, member: 738"]It's very difficult to tell from photos. I see some areas that look too uniform to be hand-cut. My guess would be a press molded blank with possibly some wheel-cut embellishments, American. If the angles are quite irregular and have sharp edges, they are added by hand. Also, look for mold marks, although those can be fire-polished out in higher-end pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
