Thread: The Boker Brotherhood

Guys, I have couple of questions (more like a challenge) for you. I just got a used (and not very well kept) Boker at a very reasonable price. The thing about this piece is that it does NOT have a tree logo, instead it have an arrow logo. On the blade it has a "BOKER'S SPECIAL" gold etching that almost had to go because of the polishing. Also Boker was not written with the dots on the "O" on neither the blade and the shank. I finally alligned the scales with the blade and still working on the sharpness side. It's a 6/8 with round point
While I was doing that I went deep into the Böker site and found a nice history document that mentions the arrow logo being used by the Remscheid site, but the shank states Solingen therefore apparently it was made by the Solingen site for the Remscheid site; on the back of the shank it says "ALEMANIA". The big questions are:

1) How rare / collectible is it?
2) Which year/decade/era of production do you estimate?
3) What kind of steel do you think the masters in Boker used?

Thanks for your help!!!!! (as soon as I get another camera I will post some images of it)

I picked up a cheap king cutter spike tip with broken scales and its gold wash still intact, so I made some new scales from 1/8" rosewood (just used an oil finish), repinned it with the orig washers and pins made from 1/6" nickel/silver alloy brazing rod. I guess it has lost its "collector" value with the new scales but its now my favourite shaver!
