    Guillmero Hoppe 14
    The second shot is for Phrank
    I am kind of curious about this one.
    I have seen other variations of his mark, bot with and without Henckels.
    One of the things with this one is it is marked Solingen but not Germany, which implies to me that it was for the domestic market as it would be after 1891.

    Here's one I haven't seen before - a Henckels 14 (marked on the tail rather than tang). It appears to have been slightly modified at the heel, but I believe the originals have a tapered heel so don't conform to the usual number 14 profile.

    The later editions were marked on the tail. I am not at home or I would post some examples of Henckels 14 markings.

    @ UKRob: thanks for sharing your 14.

    As far as my experience goes it seems to have had a "nose job" and a "heel job".

    What matters is how it shaves: if it's a smooth shaver, it's a keeper I'd say.

    As Rezdog states both in the shank and in the tail the 14's were numbered, so that seems legit to me.


    Kindest regards, Jazor

    Nice blade indeed: if the scales are "faux turtle" made out of celluloid, I hope the owner takes great care the blade stays in mint condition.

    Some celluloid scales get "celluloid rot" and the vapours of this decay can corrode a carbonsteel blade.

    Thanks all for sharing beautiful 14 pics, please keep them coming.

    Kindest regards, Jazor

    I love this thread. I came across it a while ago, and was immediately intrigued. So when this Boker 14 went up for sale locally on the weekend, I jumped on it! (even though I had already overspent my razor budget this winter....)
