The market for a numbered M1C mount is around $2200-$2400... hard to grasp that the engraving actually will devalue the piece by 40-50%... such is life.

The overall look of it (pattern, style & cutting) I'd say it's a good bet it was done in Japan, Philippines, etc. But there certainly are engravers in the US that are capable of such work.
