Sorry for abusing this thread a bit, but it is really an interesting topic. I´ve never seen this sort of armour with inscriptions before.
To come back to the initial question on the authenticy of the river find: In my humble opinion I do not see any "red flag" on the iron part of the cuisse (I cannot judge the brass part): We have traces of hammer, we have laminated iron and we have the fact that it was found in a river, not in an historistic castle
. In my eyes it is very unlikely that this is a copy.
