Can't tell from those pics. First pic resembles a Schwede, but I don't think that's what it is.
 
Daylight pics would be well appreciated, also the backing would be good to see as a clear picture....
Try to clean away any old oil

The long narrow shape and stripes make me think Schwedenstein too, but can't tell without images. Most Schwedes were thin, but I have seen a rare image or two of thicker ones. If it is a Schwedenstein, it's a rare one if it is thick.

Cheers, Steve
 
Pattern reminds me of a old stone I sold on eBay like six years ago. Was maybe 5-6k grit. Pretty hard, glassy. Sold for a ridiculous amount. Buyer said it was a Cutlers Green. Take that for what it's worth. Was a pretty worthless stone in my opinion, to be honest.
 
it has been cleaned with a 200 grit diamond plate. the first pic is the slurry from that plate, the second photo is a picture of the side of the stone while it is wet. the other two photos are front/back pictures while dry. as for hardness it is not as hard as my thuri.
