Thanks but I think yours is just a tab better in condition. Like the scales on yours. Would you have any idea of the time period these were made in?

Based on the 'Tree' on the tang and also on the box, it puts these in the 1924-1933 time frame, although the TREE carved into the scales on mine is the Tree used by Boker from 1887. The TREE on yours puts it 1900-1924. Near as I can tell anyway... Originally Posted by BobH

Thank you much. Never was much good at interpreting the changes in the Boker tree symbol. Had a feeling it might have been pre WWII. Originally Posted by Wolfpack34

Those are both gorgeous razors, guys.
I didn't know that the Boker tree had evolved over the years. Is there a reference somewhere showing the different logos and their dates?
