<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 11560238, member: 3235&quot;]I&#039;m sticking with forged - the decorative side panels are about 14-16 gauge steel, towers are an even thicker sheet steel with a framing of it&#039;s arches applied. The tops above the fleur de lis cut outs are what at first glance seem cast, but with a close look are forged to my eye, as are the castle motif&#039;s around the piece. Arms and disks pressed steel. One would have to see it in person to agree, but detail is very crisp on it, much more so then any cast iron piece I&#039;ve seen &amp; under stress it will flex as one would expect with mild steel. Of course the note it came with is no proof, but particular mention is made of the &#039;forged steel&#039;.&nbsp; I&#039;ll add that not a hand hammer forging, but rather a machine forging.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
