Here's mine
If I had one niggling criticism when I first got it, it was that the ring of Celtic knots didn't seem to survive well in the casting. They don't come through sharp and clearly defined on mine the way they do on yours.
With only a couple people having it at the time, it seemed this was par for the run, so nothing to do but shrug and move on.
Comparing it to yours, I see now it could either be that the mold was losing integrity in those fine areas, or just as likely they loaded on the silver paint which is overrunning that detail.
When they put the black wash over it, there's no deep grooves to bite into- the way there is on yours - so it ends up looking soft and lacking resolution.
None of these are perfect.
Six of one, half dozen of another.
Overall, I still think it kicks the mightiest of arses, though.
