    Default Is it a Boker?

    I just bought a lot of 6 SRs (a George Butler, H. Boker, Wade & Butcher, Giesen & Forsthoff, Joseph Rogers, and a Carlsbad). The puzzler (at least to this newbie) is the Boker. One, the tree trademark doesn't look right to me. The 2 main branches of the tree bend outwards (away from each other) instead of inwards (where they almost touch at the top)...as in the image below. Two, the scales are identical to (if not from) a Utica Knife&Razor Co. Red Point Razor. Did Boker ever make a "Red Point" model?

    If you could provide some photos that would be very helpful.

    Can't say for sure without seeing it. But what I can say for sure is that over the decades, Boker made an astonishing number of razors in many different styles. So my hunch is that it probably is a Boker.

    I agree that it is most likely a boker but won't commit without photos
