Professional Techniques
The above 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom is of  "KaePhong" or hi-powder content texture. The inner white chalky texture looks very much like Somdej Phra Phutdhacharn(Toh)'s old version Phra Somdej BangKhunPhrom(BKP). And if the texture of a Somdej Keschaiyo amulet is hi-powder content, it is often found that crack characteristic in the inner area of amulet front side is like paddy field surface in a hot dry season while edge cracks are still linear pattern. Please see above pic's pointing arrows: 1. SomdejBKP-like chalky texture 2. Linear crack at the edge 3. Paddyfield-like cracks

Their expertise is based on a long year experiences of having seen real pieces and endeavoring researches. Meanwhile, so many QUACK experts have also been seen in amulet circle of today. They have often judged amulets erroneously and reversingly due to their lacking of real profound knowledge.
