Thread: Any help is appreciated.

Hi Mike. Welcome to the forum. That is a Boker (as you already know) which is a well respected German maker. More and more complete pictures would be helpful to assess the condition but I can tell you right off the bat that it is developing a heel hook. Also it seems to have somewhat of a frown and at least a little hone wear. All of these things can be corrected and what you have is a razor that would be worth restoring from the part I can see. Of course it's always possible that the parts not visible have irredeemable damage but at the very least it is a well known respected brand. I want to say it is 20th century but pre-war. I'm sure some others who are more knowledgeable about Boker will chime in with more information. Tell us more about yourself and if you use a straight or intend to. If you do an heirloom is a very coveted item. I have several myself which I cherish deeply. If you are new to it but intend to use this razor there are people here who could help you achieve that. I would suggest sending it out to someone to have it restored rather than trying to do it yourself without having any experience doing so. There are lots of people here who offer that service. If that is what you'd like then express that desire and I'm sure someone will PM you.
I hope you stick around and become part of the community. There are lots of good people here and lots of great information if it's something that you're really interested in.
