A friend sent me a pic of this cob. I cant tell if it's cast or not.Any info would greatly appreciated. Thank you! 28428.webp28427.webp
 

Initial gut reaction is that its real, but it can be hard to see key points in pics. Lots of fakes and some very good fakes. Id have a metallurgical test for compostion and also a detailed look at the edge for a seem line.
 

whats the weight ?
 

Fling it down on a wooden table top. If it "rings" it's probably ok. If it thuds, it's a dud.
 

It looks real to me. I know there are some really good counterfeits out there, but that looks nice
