The other side is the thin seam you see in other picture other side I had thought it might of been filed down some but was also informed they were also tumbled together to smooth out any imperfections pertruding dont really know diameter is perfect but weight is slightly heavier than 6.1 lbs it always weighs at 6.3 or 6.4.
 

I have done days of research and have read these balls were filed,chiseled, hammered on any protruding seam also tumbled together to smooth out seam I am no expert but hope I purchased the real thing the diameter and weight say it is spot on for 6 pounder, if there is any opinions please reply there are no flat spots and its a perfect sphere. The seam has been flatened around 70% of ball the rest of seam is thin but not protruding.
Thanks for any info.
