Grs power hone identification

[chrishiggins]

I purchased this powerhone on eBay but I noticed it does not have the identification plate one the back like others I have seen. I know there is a lot of knockoffs. What's your thoughts. I got a good deal I think $195

in have a gravermeister thats maybe 35 years in my shop. all id tags are a bit dusty or greasy, but still intact. regardless of age, most of us, if not all of us would have no reason to remove the tags. normal wear & tear, such would not likely remove them either. jmho

This is my old one. It was purchased around 1985 and doesn't say GRS anywhere, but it is. It just sharpens kitchen knives and once and while a screwdriver and household items. It hasn't seen a graver for a while now.
