    Yeh i was thinking it may have been one from the sellers discription if it but its way to soft and easy to lap i have a few charnleys and they are hard . Also the swirls are more pink than the red of a charnley.

    Ok i have some more pics and have had a chance to run an old razor over it polishes the blade nicely ,doesn't auto slurry and the the water doesn't turn grey with steel so it should be a nice finisher .I have used a hard rub stone to get a slurry and it is milky white so im leaning towards a hybrid coticule stone old and hard enough to not need a backing stone , maybe sort of like the Les Latineuses . Any opinions welcome Name: 20170813_101607.jpg Views: 146 Size: 78.9 KB

    Looks like a hindostan. Can you take a pic of the sides
