    Cant say that I have, if you already have it in hand try it and let us know.

    Lots of barber hones are gray, but I have not seen or heard of that one. Could you please post a photo of it?

    And if it's not too much trouble, could you please mail it to me?

    I have one that is clay red like a Velvet Edge or Swaty.
    Not as smooth as the Swaty but still a decent barber hone.

    Scrub it up lightly with some cleanser and see if it changes.

    I have no info on the date, manufacturing or geography that might help.

    Edit:
    Here is an image of my little "Old Glory razor hone".
