    I think it says "G E R M A N Y" on the tang under Boker

    that's a nice blade style

    Found one similar Saturday. At one time someone loved this Boker enough to whittle scales out of something like a broom handle (to be expected in the mountains of east TN) . Not in too good of shape but I thought it was worth 10 bucks.

    Nice catch!! Antique shop finds are the best. Ya never know what you will find or how much it will cost. There are treasures out there to be had for a song. For the few bucks most of these razors cost I get hours of enjoyment cleaning them up, restoring what needs to be restored and putting an edge back on them. When I finish I am very happy, most of the time, with my investment. I'm sure your Boker will make a great shaver and provide you with the same enjoyment I receive with my finds.
