The interesting thing is that on the left side of the label, the shown eagle looks like the symbol of the Adler Schleifmittelwerke, which now belongs to the Friedrich Müller GmbH. I don't have any information so far, if - and when these both companies have joined together and how.

My theory is still that Friedrich Müller just wanted to use a comparable style which was used from SAG before.

Ive seen an Oilstone (Corum) last month which showed the "Eagle" and a Word Mark "SKG" named Schleifmittel KG. Both the SAG Logo and the SKG really look nearly the same....so is this just by instance ? I dont think so...

You see that especially the letters "S" and "G" exactly look the same...

Corum Oilstone was also used under SAG.

Well, at least they look somewhat similar.

I sure enjoy reading the findings that Peter and Sebastian come up with, Vasilis too, you guys amaze me.

I bought exactly the same "razorhone"

@Hatzicho do you know something more today?
It's not Schwedenstein.

What i can add is that both labels are documented Schleifmittel Aktiengesellschaft (SAG) labels, which still let me think that later articles of Friedrich Müller just should look like the products of SAG which were sold earlier in time.

Hello. Can you help me identify this stone without a label or box. Without certainty, the seller says that it is a Yellow/Green Thuringian stone recovered from an old barbershop in Germany and that the quality of the stone must come from a large manufacturer such as Escher&Co etc. The last photo shows the wet stone.
Thanks for your help.

For sure a thuringian Stone. And yes seemd to be a yellow green stone. The quality should be on par like Escher Stones even if it doesnt show a label
