Hello forum members. Any ideas how this happened? Is it simply a metal straight edge and an Exacto knife or something else?

    Welcome to the forums @Sundog605.

    Your assumption sounds on target.

    It would make a good pocket piece. Give it 20 years and you will no longer see the scratches.

    Yes, probably done by a machine as all of the lines are very straight.

    Actually, close examination reveals that many are not straight, IMO :)

    I hope it is a counterfeit. The punishment fits the crime. Peace Roy
