    Identify this ingot please...

    I had this up a couple of days ago but didn't get a decent response, so I changed the title and will try it a gain...

    A friend gave me an ingot that I thought I might use for casting, but I don't know what it is.
    Here's the description:

    It is a five segmented ingot that weighs 4.5 pounds. Each segment has a letter that spells out ( IMACO ) hand stamped on the back is ( GRD - 2S - 638 - R )

    Hope some of the gurus here can de-cipher what all that means and give me some good useable info.

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Total weight is 4.5 LB... Can't scratch it with my thumb nail. I'm hoping it is a high tin alloy I can use to make boolits!
