I was looking over my St. Pat and comparing it to various other online images and wondering if they all had the brass splash on the crown and how it was applied before striking. Was it allowed to solidify before striking or was it still molten? And finally on well worn examples are the were patterns indicitive of the difference in metallic properties and did the brass ever fall off/out???
