<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 366248, member: 4654&quot;]As far as I know, hand forged hardware has a scale that forms on it as a part of the heating process, this is black and if not removed by filing it off says on for 100&#039;s of years. This was later faked on machine made objects to make them look hand forged. The way to tell, the forged black is very very hard to remove and is often rough to the touch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
