There is a marking that states their material, the level of protection, weight, serial number, and the date of manufacture. From what we have been told these plates are all new manufacture.
Thanks. That beefs up some credibility for me.

Are these the same plates s&j are selling from South Africa???
Steel Level III+ Shooters Cut
Weight: 3.5kg
Size: 25x30cm
Price per Plate: 49.99
Wow. What a price.
Sadly these plates are coming to us without a brand, however we are making it a point that for every eleven plates we bring in we will test one to make sure that they are of a quality we would be comfortable trusting our lives to not to mention selling to all of you.
Is there anything that we can do to convince you on the quality of the plates. We are more than willing to do whatever it takes to prove their quality. If you could give us some suggestions on how we might go about our testing to make you feel more comfortable please let us know.

I'd be in for 2 of these.
"Trusting our lives to"
So your testing includes clay for back face deficit or are you just shooting it and think that because it doesn't go through it's safe?
Make sure you test the outer fringes as well. I know compass plates are good to go, but some of the other overseas manufacturers only insert a small amount of te hardstuff and doesnt even come to within 2 inches or so of the edges so the actual coverage is a fraction of the the overall size of the plate.
Show some tests, and alot of people would be more at ease.
Yes,
Disclose the manufacturer
Sorry but with out knowing that and being able to look into the company itself, Its not worth it. There are too many unknowns for something that is meant to prevent high velocity metal from entering my meat sack.
Date of manufacture?
Actually NIJ certified?
Long term longevity?
Quality of materials?
Has this company actually made armor before?
Has that previous armor worked?
Who conducted the testing to achieve the NIJ rating?
etc etc etc

^^^^^^^^all questions s&j refused to answer or provide info on....I went to the EE and got what I wanted new for same price for same plates only with all pertinent information!
These plates sound good at a good price we just need to know they are legitimate...I’d jump at that point!
When you get side plates and have answers to questions you should put a package together.....
Plates(front.back.sides and carrier) ......that I would buy!!
