Wash em up good with some Dawn dish soap, then sit the jaw in a mug of vinegar for a couple minutes.  Pull em out to air dry.
Look at them in sunlight or LED flashlight light.
Bet you can see the weld line develop.

That sounds easy enough. Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I think it is a modification and I have seen even better ones. I sold King Harrington's collection at auction a few years ago and he had
modified several tools that looked original. A few of these were purchased by the late Glenn Ficken and are on the next Wrenching News Auction. See Lots 393, 394 and maybe 398.
