<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 70050, member: 54"]What size is the square containing the marking shown? One rsn I ask is that the mark's characters are "in relief" and very slightly rough at the edges, both of which probably mean the mark was cast-in rather than stamped with steel stamps. Does that mean anything important? We've been looking at Chinese marks in metal of decorative items recently, which seem to be stamped into the metal, so a cast-in mark makes me wonder whether it is legit. I don't know this area-trying to learn more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
