My wife & I went to a huge flea market today. I grabbed a set of three stones from a table. I was particularly drawn to the box with the familiar label. The slurry stone is missing, but the hone itself looks to be practically unused. The color is olive drab, like the color of a Jon boat. Is it an Escher? There is also a little coti that came with the lot.
This how I picked it up...
It fits perfectly in the box minus the slurry stone...
It lapped quite easily, but it wasn't really worn...after lapping..
Here it is wet...
With slurry from a DMT...
I think its the real deal, but it would be the first one I have ever seen outside of photos.
