The important bit is that you have a good finisher.

Lacking an original box and label the only important
part is the finish you get on your razor.

Let us know how the next Thuringian compares.

For what its worth, it looks pretty similar to my Thuri. Also my one was quite easy to lap and round the edges compared to the PHIG

check the scratch pattren or shave off of each one that should separate the two stones if not then u have two c-12

Or an exceptional C-12..

The good news is that the OP has yet another
hone on the way to compare with. Time, practice
and use will tell.

Given the color, size, and that it was in a lot of presumably old hones, I'd vote for Thuri. My Thuris are visually and tactily indistinguishable from my Guangxi, but the edges they produce certainly are.

When you lapped it, did it seem soft or rather hard? My thuri & eschers have a softer feel when lapping...the c-12 just feels harder when lapping.
