GN German Number Stamps DIN 1451 (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. GN skips end-tempering and edge chamfering for a lower price, suited to limited budgets or occasional use.
Suitable materials: For identification marks on all kinds of metal — general metals, stainless steel, nameplates, parts and tools.
Core Features
Made of 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.
Font and size are marked on the side of the stamp for fast identification during work.
The surface is sandblasted for a better anti-slip grip and greater durability.
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 3-Hole Stamping Guide Box — the three-hole lid holds each stamp upright and square to the workpiece while you strike.
