Yet again, a nice Paul Ysart weight (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574631383&toolid=10001&campid=5336261829&customid=&icep_item=330327059173&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) threatened by a crack. :cry: He did have bad luck with incompatibility or annealing.

That's an annealing crack.  You'll get one like that when the the piece is allowed to cool too much before it goes into the annealer.
