I think Doubs has it right ... material was added via Tig welding and filed/ground to shape. It is painstaking work and requires the welder to be focused and concentrating all while wearing a welding mask with dark lenses ... its not easy and this task was expensive. It looks to me that this job was not fully completed yet and needs more shaping and then hopefully hot bluing as opposed to cold blueing, I mean if your going to go to this much trouble you might as well do it right ya ??
