[01-0429] Hand Hammered - NOT! We knew when we bid on this that the seller had made a common mistake about this spoon being hand hammered. If it were hand hammered the smith must have had incredible control of his hammer. For example, none of the "hammer marks" overlap and they are pretty evenly spaced. This is clearly a die struck pattern.

Looks like a golf ball to me. As I understand it, there was also some use of machine hammers, which always hit with the same force and produced remarkably consistent marks. Yours does look die struck, though, at least on the handle. Brent IP: Logged |
