Weird Faber tanks

[Bamared64]

Hello everyone..i need some help!
I recently purchased 2 steel faber tanks from a closed technical dive shop inventory and tried to have them inspected and certified through my local dive shop..i was informed in no uncertain terms that would never happen..i contacted Faber in Italy ,sent pics, and asked what i had And what i could do..The responding representative told me that they never made those particular tanks and not use them..and that was it!..who would make counterfeit steel scuba tanks and not put all the info on them?..and these are steel heavy tanks..Am i screwed?..pics enclosed

Mind measuring and weighing? Entirely a guess, but looks more like a heiser 190 with a beuchat y valve or an abnormally large euro cylinder. Either way, something that has been resprayed and coated. SOL without some serious elbow grease to figure out what it says underneath.

Without a DOT or CA (canada) stamp you're not going to get them filled here. Scrap or wind chimes.

beuchat y valve

The y-valve could be of value. It is most likely a G3/4 (3/4 BSPP) thread for European diving cylinders. If it were 3/4 NPSM (US), I suspect it would be worth more due to rarity?

You can fill a Euro tank in the US only if you have your own compressor.

Even with your own compressor it'd be good to know the service pressure lol

Can you make out any of the stamps on there?

If you notice in one of the pics..they actually have FABER ITALY written on both tanks..but absolutely nothing else.

Time to be getting your money back...

Or enjoy your new expensive wind chimes...

Out of curiosity I'd like to see what is under all that epoxy...
