<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 1414189, member: 360"]Regardless of actual age, what O'ByBear says is true - you cannot fake all that wear and tear and battering. The build-up and the aging of the metal is something that only time can really do. The chipping, scraping, wearing down...if this was a reproduction of some kind, the "damage" (real or created) would look a lot 'crisper' and 'cleaner' than that - what you see there looks like it was dragged across a benchtop or something, many, many times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
