I think its optical illusion. Look at how the shadow of the light falls. If its embossed the light would be coming from the bottom. And the shadow falls the same for all the letters/numbers.


BDC, to follow the light was a good idea. Please review the plate. The shadows at the bottom edge of the plate and within its four holes reveal that the incident light came from above. Click to enlarge.

The stamping appears to be embossed. If you look at the first three numbers 892, you can see an accumulation of dirt in the hollows formed by the embossing. If that were a stamping, dirt would not accumulate in that manner. Just my opinion.


Randy your close monitoring finds confirmation when looking at the backside of the plate. The seller has been so kind to publish it.
After enlarging, image mirroring and turning it upside down the last four digits are recognizable. Below a contrasting juxtaposition of front and back after image processing.

Dave, I'm with Mal on that.
