Default My Edelweiss

Just picked this up from the local antiquie mall. My first str8. Am I correct in assuming that the copyright mark dates this to sometime between '24 and '32?

I don't see any hone wear on it. I am hoping that it is basically a new razor. Needs a little tidying up, but the scales are in beautiful shape.

This is one made for Birch & Cubbedge in Macon, GA (where I live) by Boker. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it cleaned up very nicely. The blade centers perfectly and the scales are in really good shape. I can't wait to get it honed and give it a try.

Default Rescued Boker

I got this one in a lot deal. It had a broken front scale. I repaired the scale cleaned it and honed it. It has great steal just like a Boker should.
