Today I saw here this stone. Whether really it is ESCHER or a fake? I didn't see such stones never. Any judgement is interesting.

I don't know much about them, however, it looks authentic to me.
Definately the real thing, that one will fetch some "Beaucoup" bucks!
If you have any information about when the stamps on Eschers were made if they were. Why does the lable look fresh ? Maybe some businesmen who can produce modern Eschers have appeared in Germany.
That seller has a lot of positive feedback, 6 neutrals, 1 negative in almost 1500 transactions last 12 months. It's not like I can read German, and I don't really like the neutrals, but I would think that it's hard to keep 1500 customers completely happy in the internet antiques world. Have we ever spotted an actual fake stone?
I have no complaints about the seller .I have been intrested in honning of straight razors for three years. And I already have three different Eschers. And now I can't define if the stone is genuine or not. I think that the seller may be not aware of it all the more.
The stone, labels, ink stamps and packaging all look consistent with the real thing in my experience. I've seen another Escher Y/G in the same cardboard box, no end label but Gelb Grun ink stamped on the honing surface. It was years ago and it was the older label that didn't have & Sohn, but it was very like in terms of the product. Someone bought that stone many years ago and put it in a cabinet where it remained in near pristine condition. IMHO.
Thanks to all who helped to identify this stone. Yesterday I took away it. Huge NOS ESCHER!
Congrats, nice score, is museum quality.
This was my bid some minutes before my pc cracked, unfortunately I don't use sniper program.
