possible fork damage after crash?

I hear a slight rattling (I heard it after a recent crash but it stopped for a while) in the fork when I hit one of the legs against my palm or shake it hard (I removed it from the bike). Sounds like something loose in it like a tiny pebble in one of the fork legs (or one of their many stickers they put in their carbon components). I removed the compression nut so the fork is "naked". I'll take the fork to a Specialized dealer to see what they say. Any suggestions if you've dealt with this before? I see no evidence of damage anywhere on the fork even using a coin tapping test.

This bike is a 2007 and I have the original receipt if any of that helps.

The fork is likely fine but I'm not sure I'll be comfortable after the post crash jitters.
