I'm using these new found info and others to pinpoint an estimate date. So far I'm sticking to the 24th century.
I would venture to say mid to late 24 century. Mostly due to the first quote. Stuff such as plastisteel would take years, if not decades to filter down through all the various military and industrial concerns to reach the wide availablity that would enable random mercenaries to purchase it for reasonable prices on the open market.
EDIT: Atomite, and custom atomite, sleeves description dates it after January 2336.
