There is a question we have to ask ourselves with regard to a segmentata and that is just what part is it supposed to be, for the only area having hinges has to be the upper area of the armour and at 5cm wide it appears to be a bit narrow for that plus the fact of its iron hinge where I think it should be brass or bronze. I just have to say again it does not look to be from a segmentata at all and as you say there is only assumtion to go on it has no prvenance send it back.
