Other than Failing to Permanently Date the item. The maker MIGHT have Intentionally placed the hangers in that position making it almost impossible to hang sign Correctly.

Great info on the horse Kevin! I work around a laser on a daily basis except for this week, vacation. When I go back I will take close up pics of the edges of different gauge metals cut from a laser. May come in handy for future reference. A skilled laser operator could also adjust the speed of the cut to obtain different variations on the edge. Also most pieces cut from a laser are left on the skeleton and removed by person other than the laser operator. By doing this each and every piece cut from our laser has a spot where it gets touched up by a soft pad to remove the nub.

Thanks for posting that painful discovery. That's a stand up guy that would post up a painful lesson like that.

Thanks for sharing. some times we want to believe that a piece is authentic and truth be told, modern technology can make it difficult to tell.

I saw the same Type of fake Pegasus sign on a recent trip to Arcadia in sourthern Florida. I made a call to 2 gassers and we came up with the same conclusion. FAKE! Great Idea to mark it so no one else gets stung.
