That's quite the mark of credibility. I've seen people selling beanie babies and steak knives at gun shows, too. I saw where some woman was selling "vagina paintings" on eBay a while back. You appear to be in good company.

Please post on your "knowledge" base of metallurgical properties of these. I'm also interested in how well they stood up to welding of lugs.

Sure it did. You just posted it on the internet, therefore it MUST be true. No one should EVER question things posted on an internet message board.
