My wife got me these three razors for my birthday. From top to bottom:
Boker King Cutter 6/8ths spike
Genco 5/8ths spike with bone scales
Genco "Army/Navy" 5/8ths round point.
I'm really looking forward to getting them cleaned up, sharpened up and in the rotation.

Thats a good woman you got there.
Love the scales on the bottom razor.

Very nice wife and straights. Be sure to thank her properly.
Great present! Please let us know which one turns out to be the best shaver. I will bet on the Boker.

That woman is a real keeper.
Very nice, enjoy them.
Very nice!
I have a 'king' that looks identical to yours, the thing is, it doesn't say boker anywhere on it (may even say stephens or something). Mine is probably a fake. Can you take a close up of the tang on that one?

I wont be able to post a picture until tomorrow. The tang on that one says "H. Boker and Co., Solingen". The Boker "tree" mark is stamped on parallel to the direction of the tang and blade. ID stamping seems to vary a bit with Bokers; for example, of the five I've got only two say "Solingen" on the tang. Look for the "tree" mark. If that's there it's probably a Boker. I'll post that picture tomorrow and you post one too. That way we can compare.
Best Regards
