They look a bit like moughton whetstones, I don't think they're Charnley Forest Hones.

There are quarries all over the world producing rocks fine enough to be used to hone razors. Hard to tell.
Someone who really knows natural European sharpening stones and hones is Henk Bos. Here's a link: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...teresting.html

doorsch, yes because of the swirls
They do look more like the Ordovician Thuringian Hones.

Thanks for the help. I'll send a mail to Hank Bos in a couple of hours when i get home.
I don't think the stones are JNS. I forgot to mention that the smaller stone is glued to a rough black stone

Yes, like coticules but the black side is rough, under 1k and I believe is not is natural! Originally Posted by Kees
