Thanks Ken for the input.

Anybody sitting on these strings NOS and want to let some go for cruelty-free testing?

I was told by Paul Biase that Scherl & Roth (who is now merged Glaesel) made these Strings in the USA and when they stopped, Pirastro had to figure it out and didn't have the American metals used.

In foreign countries, it is not uncommon for a product to be made there like Coca~Cola or Ford for instance that makes in other countries for convenience and profit.

When I sent them back an old set they didn't seem to know exactly what they were but did say they were from before 1980. They looking to be like a heavy gauge of the 92s but not identical to the Stark 92s sold now of the original flexocor.
