<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 12107605, member: 76316&quot;]It&#039;s ~1 5/8&quot; diameter, ~1 13/16&quot; high to the shoulder.The &#039;seal&#039;, which is unmarked, may just be a plug; it doesn&#039;t rattle like it would if it had a shot fill. The markings suggest it was designed for use as a direct 500G, or as a 10X (5KG) through some multiplier linkage. Its actual weight is 500.4 grams; if used for trade at 10 pounds, it would give an extra ~1 pound, as 5KG is 11.023 pounds.</p><p>My question has to do with the symbol indicating pounds; I&#039;ve never seen that mark, an&#039; wonder when an&#039; where it was in common use, which may indicate the age of this chunk of iron. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]551815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551821[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
