I just bought my first used razor at an antique store as a project to clean up and use as a trainer for honing since it was $10. Can anyone tell me how old the razor is?Attachment 228949Attachment 228950Attachment 228951

These charts show Boker stampings over the years. That is about as close as I know how to get ;
Boker King Cutter is a VERY good razor.
I would suggest getting another sacrificial blade for the learning curve.

Attachment 231274Thanks to all for the help, the king cutter cleaned up nicely. Unfortunately the logo is now only visible if you hold it on the right angle, it almost completely wore off with the tarnish. Delivered a passable shave and anticipate it will only get better(once some gold dollars suffer)
