Wash em up good with some Dawn dish soap, then sit the jaw in a mug of vinegar for a couple minutes.  Pull em out to air dry.
Look at them in sunlight or LED flashlight light.
Bet you can see the weld line develop.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance!

That sounds easy enough. Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I think it is a modification and I have seen even better ones. I sold King Harrington's collection at auction a few years ago and he had
modified several tools that looked original. A few of these were purchased by the late Glenn Ficken and are on the next Wrenching News Auction. See Lots 393, 394 and maybe 398.
