Dear Ken, Michael and List,
  I concur with Ken. The "meteorite" appears to have
been manufactured with a acetylene torch or forge and
a sledge hammer or press. The "mass" has an unusual
cross-section for a real iron meteorite and the
thumbprinting looks like hammer or press marks.
  Good job Ken in pointing out this suspect
"meteorite".
  Best Regards, Dirk...Tokyo
