A bright line appears in one polished-case image. What additional evidence would distinguish a mark from reflected light?

Reply scope: address the opening question, explain the supporting record or reasoning, and state the limit of the answer.

Ask for photographs with the light moved and retain the same viewing angle. A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing is not an appropriate diagnostic test.

Clarification for “Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark”: the point beginning “Ask for photographs with the light moved and…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
