That's curious. Is there something else that it could be
stamped from?

Yep.
Virgin metal means it is steel with no recycled metal added.

As opposed to steels which contain recycled steel as well as
virgin metal.
Or "chinese steel" that has Melamine in it - - -

Virgin steel comes from downright, disgustingly ugly iron ore,
and homely coal! ;-)

Yup , and virgin wool comes from the fastest lamb in the flock .

How do you explain Extra Virgin Olive Oil??

She was a lot faster than PopEye????

Oh yeah? Then were did she get Sweet Pea?
