I could be wrong, but I believe all kurts have USA cast into the bottom. Yours looks a bit like a forgery.
My two older D60's look like this on the bottom (this one has no nameplate):

Looking at a purportedly Kurt vise and was wondering if anyone could help me with some info about it. Markings are D60-1 (maybe, the 0 is missing) MT6 BIW. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
Comstock's second pic shows a cast surface?
Any pics of the ball mechanism would be helpful.
It's hard to tell from the photo.
It would help.
Are you looking to buy this for cheap, or are just curious about the make/model? It doesn't look like a Kurt to me, unless it pre-dates my machining experience (which it could).

Here is a video showing disassembly of the moving jaw. I don't recall seeing the little o-ring grooves before, but this vise looks fairly new so maybe it is/was a newer design before they discontinued this style?
Sure would, anyone have pics of their genuine Kurt ball mechanism?
Good lord, does the fucking thing work for your needs? If yes, who cares who made it? If no, it still doesn't matter who made it.Unfortunately I picked it up already, I just needed a vise. Guy guaranteed it was a genuine Kurt, I mean look at the castings... Now I'm trying to justify my purchase.

He's not angry. It's just a kinda dumb discussion in a place that is supposed to be about machining, not collecting. One or two "Is this really a Kurt ? Seems flaky to me ..." questions would have been enough ...Why are you so angry? You know you don't have to reply...

This is "supposed" to be a forum for professional machinists. Not collectors or hobbyists. In my opinion, if we allow this type of thread to be unchecked, the forum will morph in to something it was never meant to be.I'm sorry I forced you guys to read this and reply then
