<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 136229, member: 54"]I'm glad u like the item. Using this for education for anyone interested, yes this a nice shiny item that's fairly well-crafted. Where it came from before the nice old Scotsman IHNI. </p><p><br /></p><p>However if I had any reason to guess when it was produced, I can't find anything I usually take as "signs of age." Probably the most disappointing part of this item, age-guessing-wise, is the bottom edge or some would call foot. No wear is seen, and in fact there are even substantial burrs protruding downward which would have worn off very quickly if the piece had much use. I could go on but you can see where I'm going with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
