Need help on an ID

Posted this in my newb thread but figured I might post it here also. Razor was given to me by my dad and he said it was his fathers that was given to him.

Forgive me for the quality of pics as I don't have a high quality camera and these were taken with my iphone. If anyone can identify it I'd be grateful

Some details. Case for the razor says Robert Klaas if that's what I can make out. On the inside says "This Razor is ground thin and finely tempered and should be handled carefully as Broken Razors can not be exchanged" On the other side it says "Germany" and looks like a piece might have been peeled or ripped off.
On the razor itself. One side says "Red-Injun No. 100",other side says H.B & Co with Germany written under it with a tree symbol next to it. Still has an edge while not very sharp, probably can send it out to get polished, cleaned, and honed.

Here's the pics.

It's a Boker Red Injun 100. Boker is a German based company with a fantastic reputation that has just resumed the manufacture of straights. All that I have ever heard about Bokers is that they are top quality shavers, and that was true of the one I had as well.

Your blade has some wear, including a bit of muting at the toe (more wear at the toe, which causes the toe to curve up; not necessairly a bad thing), but the wear looks mostly even. She should make a great shaver once she's honed up.

Re-sized the pics, sorry about that!

#2 on your having scored a great razor, and that it needs to be expertly honed to shave well. Once well honed, it should need nothing but daily stropping for a few months, then occasional touchups on a good hone. I have 2 Red Injuns, and they are both very nice shavers. Most Bokers are.
