Struck at an angle but it sure looks like it could be.

That thing is so degenerated, or perhaps not even fully struck that its hard to tell what it is. Can you discern more by looking at it from different angles?

Hi Jim and CSINTX

For me it seems that this mark representing a bat.
Please see the picture of MARKS OF TOLEDAN ARMOURERS.
