GN German Style Number Steel Stamps (Economy)
GN is the economy German-style number set — 0–8 in 9 pieces (6 inverts to 9) in a clear German font, for general permanent marking on metal parts, nameplates and tools. A cost-effective, high-legibility choice.
Suitable materials: For identification marks on all kinds of metal — general metals, stainless steel, nameplates, parts and tools.
Core Features
Made of high-quality CR-V (6150) chrome-vanadium steel; the character head reaches HRC 58–62 for clear, durable impressions.
A German-style (DIN 1451) typeface with crisp, distinct strokes and high legibility.
Exclusive Patent · 3-Hole Stamping Guide Box
A patented locating jig that makes every strike straight, consistent and safe:
Invention patents in Taiwan, the USA, France and Vietnam; utility-model patents in Germany and China — an original design.
Strike with the stamp held in the box — your hands stay clear of the hammer for a safer, steadier hit.
The box keeps the tool perfectly flush with the workpiece — a straight strike and consistent depth, every time.
A built-in viewing window makes positioning easy and keeps impressions from skewing.
Rotate the box freely to suit the way you work.
Patented PP guide case — the three-hole lid holds each stamp upright and square to the workpiece while you strike.
