Narrative:
On postflt walkaround, an 8 inch gash was noticed by mechanic. This gouge was probably already on the nose of the aircraft when our crew took control of the airplane in denver. If in fact it was there, a closer, more attentive walkaround would have caught this prior to this flight. At least it was caught prior to flying another leg.
