Thread: Original boker red injun scales

Hey y'all,

i am in need of a bit of help. I have received my great grandfather's straight razor as a Christmas present. Now the scales are very warped and do not look to be original (pins have been redone and scales seem a little short). Now I would like to do my pawpaw some justice and restore his razor to original. Would anyone happen to have a picture or something of what the original scales looked like?

That's cool the razor will be very meaningful to you. Check out eBay they seem to have a variety.

That is the issue. I have and many different styles and shapes have been brought up.

It's a red injun no.101 R.P.

Have you looked in the Boker Brotherhood razor club yet?

I think the 101 on the first page is very similar to 101rp

the second example

Catalog 1906.

I was looking for the same scales! I believe the original scales are the ones with the branded tree not with the inlay looking tree ... I even emailed boker and they have no scales for sell... Not even new ones

I have a 101 Red-Injun of the same era as the OPs, scales look identical to the scales on the catalog page. I can try to get some good pics tonight if no one else has posted any by that time.
