If it looks okay, then it is fine however it is made.
In general, forged is much better. It avoids air pockets and gives a better
surface for polishing. However, it is also much more expensive. For most
applications that extra expense cannot be justified.

Which is better: cast or forged brass? Or does it make any difference. In
this case, the items in question are cabinet hardware. Thanks.
