Red flags:

• The two lowest piercings appear to be handmade in the traditional manner. The other 13 piercings are extremely problematic - they show unusual sanding characteristics and ane entirely different from traditional piercings. The thickness of the iron becomes notably thinner around these piercings. It appears 13 piercings were added to the iron years after this piece was manufactured.
