Thread: The Boker Brotherhood

Here is my Boker Eagle, which I believe is from the 1924-1935 era.

The first picture is how it was right from eBay. The sales were broken at the pins.

The second picture is after new scales from gssixgun (Glen). I asked for a traditional look to match the Americana look of the blade. I wanted black scales without a lot of visible grain so as not to compete with the etching on the blade and to echo the original black scales. I therefore chose African Blackwood (Senegal Ebony) to which Glen gave a Permalyn finish, a red and black swirled acrylic wedge and all brass hardware.

Of the three straights I have, this is the best looking and the best shaver.

I thank Glen for a fine job.
