Hi Berber Dagger,
Please do understand that definite responses based just on the grounds of one single close-up are not exactly valuable. Tentatively I should dare say though that this does not look anywhere near any maker's mark I've ever come across. Possibly an iventory stamp, if ever. Best, Michael |

Sorry but this was my one and only guess.
Let's hope some armor experts will produce more substantial replies. Best, m |
