check Oldengaerde last pics. you will see what is missing.
Or you may not posted pics.
anyway it is very nice stone with cover or without it.

Thank you. The box is the same , with all the covers. How this tone compare to the thuringians? I am new to honing ,I can't feel a difference in the finishing on the green one and this. This one is IMO softerstone, but I am able to get a HHT2 from stone and a solid HHT4 after stroping.Also I like it because is a longer stone.Anyway I can't complain, for 60 $ I get a nice stone, one razor and a box.
Warm regards

you have 2 pics
left site is similar too light green escher. from pics. right side is thuringian?
or they are same stone after lapping?
if they are different one right side stone should be a lot harder then left one.
it will be courser too compare to left one.

They are the same stones. Second photo is with stones wet, and third with slurry.

Sham, the box picture I posted was taken from the auction to show you all 3 pieces were there

My statement:

You will often find Thuringians in contraptions like these.

was based on all the paddlestrops and stropboxes I saw on ebay with stones that looked like Thuringians. I never bought them to check if they all were

How can you tell a uniform Schwedenstein apart from a Thuringian? What does a Hunsrücker look like?
