Thread: Boker Extra hollow Ground -

Just scored This tonight on the bay.

How did i do?



Any one got some info on this one?

If you can get a clear view of the stampings, that can indicate an approximate year of manufacture. It's frowned upon to discuss value here but what you have is a nice looking razor. One that many of us would be glad to have in our collection at a price that many wouldn't be opposed to paying.

I'm sorry I'm brand new, wasnt trying to gloat or anything.

heres a better close up of the marks

I'm sure that there is more information out there, but this thread can give you an idea as to when it was made.

Cant find any that match it perfectly on Google. Ill have to keep looking for tang stamps.

Just got the razor.

AMAZING, seller even did a nice subtle polish to get the worst of it gone, but left the etching intact.

Edge is still great, cleaned a nice big spot on my arm in a couple passes, no irritation.

only downside is, i was going to work on this guy for a while then order a strop and brush.

guess ill just have to speed those plans up a bit

Looks like 1924-35 to me...

Old Bokers are finest quality. that jimped thumb notch is a great feature. Yours seems to have been well used and properly honed. A lot! Nothing wrong with nice, even hone wear, though! I could recommend a layer of tape and get a new bevel. It will shave nicely, no doubt.
Go to it!

Finally got some photos of it,

looks pretty good after the clean up the seller did.
