I am remiss and somewhat late in getting back to this.
Thank you for the information. I took a closer look at the filigree of marks inside this plate, and they appear to be scale marks, from having been forged, or at least, that is my read on them.
In any case, I am pleased to have it, and I think it'll work for what I wanted. It has been refinished at least once, and has had some areas of the points flattened on top. Not sure if I am going to do anything about that or not.
Eventually, I would like this to be color case hardened. Still in the long slow plotting stages with that, though.
Cheers
Trev
Merry Christmas all!
Peace!
