If I had some dull grey stainless, not shiny or bright or silvery like 316 or 302, what grade might it be? Any guesses? Thanks. Ant.

And, I might add, you'll need a lot of luck. My point was that, under controlled situations, it is possible to differentiate between CS, martensitic SS, and austenitic SS. I'd be very suspicious of anyone who said they could tell a 316 from a 321 or a 347 Stainless just by the way it looks.I challenge you to "eye-ball" ALL grades of SS. Sure - a couple, yes - but after that - good luck
