    I have a Hohenzollern with a similar label with a castle. It is probably even finer than Y/G Escher.

    the little escher arrived today and the quality of the grey green stone is obvious. It has never been beveled on the edges and appears unused. I'm as convinced as I can be that it is genuine. I will try it out on a new Friodur I got off the bay (for $90) this weekend. My ebay finds are going well this month! the friodur appears unused as well, with a factory bevel and no hone wear, a real beauty from a japanese dealer. Add that to the nice cold steel tai pan and mini tanto I got and it's quite a haul, though I've spent too much LOL.

    Congratulations, the label on the stone looked to be suspicious for a vintage stone.
