    Yes, it is cast into the piece. It was stamped into the original
    cast metal model before they made the rubber mold to reproduce their
    production castings. I have never been able to get a crisp stamping
    of my mark other than in metal. If I know that a mold will only be
    used for one type of metal, such as sterling, I will put that stamp
    into the original model, too.
