Thread: Red Injun No 101 R.P.???

Alright y'all I am somewhat stumped here and was hoping that some of y'all could clear something up. I was given a Boker Red Injun No 101 R.P. yet it is a square point. I thought the "R.P." was for round point. Here is a picture.

Yep that's wired

According to this Red Injun advertisement the RP stands for round point. Perhaps the previous owner re-shape the point of your razor?

Nope... Still has factory grind marks and I knew the previous owner personally (he was my pawpaw)

Nice to have a family heirloom like that, that said perhaps a very rare Red Injun with a miss matched stamp on it from the factory?

Here are some pictures of the end.

I really don't know. That's why I came to you guys. I mean I guess it could be possible that the end was ground off but it is highly unlikely knowing my great grandfather.

Well all the information i see, and many 101RP online have a round point, so either it wasnt stamped incorrectly from the get go or somebody at some point in time fixed a chip or something. Maybe somebody could measure the blade from a 101 like from shoulder to point, and compare with yours. From the pics looks original.

well i had just happened to receive my boker 101 today and the R.P. is exactly the same length- shoulder to end

So does any one know how I can confirm what razor it is? It really does not look like any of the other profiles I have seen with red injuns and all of the grind seems very dated and most likely done by the factory.
