<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 894349, member: 54&quot;]On re-inspection, I see that the “cartouche” squarish piece on top/front is aluminum, and the diagonal insert appears to be copper. The basic ring is stainless steel. Some idea of age since assembly can be gained from the appearance of the copper and aluminum. It looks like the basic stainless steel ring body was something you could purchase with the cartouche cavity empty, then have someone produce a cartouche to fit the cavity. I don’t know enough about the history of that geographic area to interpret the markings.
