No way for us to know the age.I was given all information on Hermanns tortoises along with my little guy. After a couple weeks and reading on only Hermanns I’m just realizing now he is not a Hermanns! Is he marginated or greek?!? And how old would you estimate? (Please note I have child size hands)
It would help us to help you if we can see the bottom of the tortoise (plastron).
I'll send an alert to @HermanniChris
It looks like a young hermanns tortoise to me.I was given all information on Hermanns tortoises along with my little guy. After a couple weeks and reading on only Hermanns I’m just realizing now he is not a Hermanns! Is he marginated or greek?!? And how old would you estimate? (Please note I have child size hands)

Care and diet for greeks, hermanni and marginated is the same:
The Best Way To Raise Any Temperate Species Of Tortoise
I chose the title of this care sheet very carefully. Are there other ways to raise babies and care for adults? Yes. Yes there are, but those ways are not as good. What follows is the BEST way, according to 30 years of research and experimentation with hundreds of babies of many species. What is...tortoiseforum.org
Can you post plastron shots for us?
I was thinking marginated as well- but i didn't want to post because greeks, hermanns, and marginateds look pretty similar as babies and I wouldn't want to make a misguiding wrong guess. But i'd say it does look most like a marginated.
