That's not amateur work. Thanks for the much better images.
I think 1984 is correct too.

Hi ,
            Thanks for the extra photos , I don't think this is stipple engraved i think it is more likely to be diamond etched or etched by mechanical means ,I understand that dentists drills are a favourite tool , I still reckon your best bet would be to contact the guild of engravers , they have records going back many years of engravers that were active in the 20th century.

cheers ,
       Peter.
