    Who manufactures these and what is the threat rating?

    They are military service plates from a Friend of mine they don't fit my plate carrier. The ceramic is 4 or 5 and the steel is 3+

    That's interesting that the ceramic is asymmetrical. Is that why it won't fit your carrier? What's the country of origin? Or is that like next level U.S. stuff that shouldn't be surplus yet?

    That is the most interesting cut I have ever seen.

    I think he said it's for left hand and right hand shooters

    I'm willing to bet the ceramic plate is military surplus, just not US military surplus. I've never seen one shaped like this and I've never seen any US armor of any sort without a data plate stating how old it is, where it came from and what it is rated to protect against. I'll give you $50 for it. That is fair given the unknown expiration date and unknown protection rating. If I get it I'll shoot it with steel core 308 and see if it'll stop it, just in case I ever come across something like this again
