You know, looking at the barrels a moment ago I think my mind cleared and I realized just what I am seeing.
The barrels are beautiful, both of them, all the way gorgeous. BUT, in this spot there are 3"pits", the middle one looking more like a chip, and there is a ring of silver around them all.
I believe the barrel was dented at one time and then pulled out and perhaps spot welded (?). It HAS to be evidence of a fix and not normal wear.
How does this sound to you all now? Anyone familiar with things like this?
