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,
