Craig,,why would you tell him other researchers say the ring was die struck?! It misleads right from the start...Plant that, say it isn't mass produced and you got his opinion.. Tell him Die Cast,,tell him 1000s where made.. Tell him how can it be collectors own original metal master dies,,where did they come from?
There was a German publication during the 3rd reich. It dealt with different types manufacturing.. These magazines show a variety of ways badges, medals, pieces of jewelry, buttons etc. were made. A archive in Jablonec owns almost a full set. I've had them researched for different reasons and found that investment casting was not the predominant method used for mass production back then.. What I have found is that any but was used. Die casting , Die press , Roll formed/cut was the predominant method, any of those 3 were simpler and faster than investment cast.. Craig you can show as many letters as you want.. I own original tooling for rings,,they are not pieces from investment cast,,I've researched this for over 10 years,,investment cast wasn't used for private purchase ring.. And, as much as you don't like to admit,,the HR was a mass produced piece,,,1000s being made........
