Sure looks like the real deal to me!

Looks like a casting flaw, maybe a slightly worn pattern, or some sand shift around the C/N.

 That's a nice pan. Looks good to me too, Nathan.  Don't see anything suggesting a recast.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I see similar pans on page 231, but they have single digit numbers equivalent to their size.  This one has 1056 A, which is what was throwing me.
