Yes, no problem at all identifying meteoritic material before its been used. None.
We're talking about identifying meteoritic material after it has been forge welded probably no less than 8 or 10 times, then combined with some other ferric material, then forge welded to a core, forged to shape, and carved.
This type of ID is a slightly different ball game.

I can answer your questions, and they are good and valid questions, but I'm probably going to use a lot of words in doing so. I don't have time right at the moment, but I'll post an answer as soon as I do have time to write it.
In the meantime, try to answer these questions:-
Are the sculptures of Michelangelo Buonarroti generally regarded as work of exceptionally high quality?
If yes, why is this so?
