If it's not an import . . . . and it looks like a Kurt, holds like a Kurt,
walks like a Kurt, talks like a Kurt, smells like a Kurt, etc..etc, then it
may be a Kurt. But OTOH, why would it be missing Kurt's characteristic blue
metal tag? Don't worry about it - if it'll hold stuff square and tight, it
may be a pretty good imitation of a Kurt.

You can buy genuine Kurt replacement jaws and other parts from J&L, MSC and
others.

I bought a old 6" mill vise which the owner said he thought it was a Kurk.
There is no stampings on it. How can I identify it as a Kurk? Holds like
a
Kurk and it's not an Import.
Also is there anyplace I can buy inexpensive jaws for this vise. Willing
to swap some good diesel fuel injection stuff for any traders out there.
