Hello folks. I am brand new to the forum, a recent convert to DE shaving and I am interested in learning the art of straight razor shaving. As of this moment I have exactly zero experience with it.

While at a local antique store looking for vintage DE razors, I came across quite a few straight razors. One in particular caught my eye, as it seemed by far in the best condition of the lot and I thought the scales were unique. I picked it up on impulse and have been trying to find out more about it, but have had no success in matching it up. I believe it may be from between 1924-36, but am not certain. I am hoping that you can help me in dating it and identifying it beyond being made by Boker.

I have found the following dating charts:




Whatever light or information you can shed on vintage, model, history, etc would be of interest to me. I am not looking for appraisals, just history.

I would also like some opinion on whether it is worth restoring (polishing and honing) and, if so, what should I use for polishing, who should I use for honing, and would it be suitable as an occasional shaver or would I be better suited to look for a new, shave ready razor? I know I am asking a lot, but hey, you are here because you are interested. Thanks in advance.
