I just won this Boker on the bay. Does anyone recognize it/tell me anything about it?
It's quite a beautiful object.

My God!!
That's the infamous cursed Boker of Madagascar!
No one who has ever owned it has lived for more than a year!
Fortunately for you, I have the hammer of tokantongotra, the only device known to be able to break this horrid device and thus, break the curse.
Quickly, with all speed - send it to me so that I may dispose of it and save you from a fate worse than death itself!!
No need to thank me.

Apart from that, any idea when it was approximately made?
Is that bone/cellulose/ivory(doubt it) on the shank?

On www.straightrazorplace.com there is a section called "Razor Clubs" there is a Boker group there that might be of help. Nice looking worked back covered tang Boker Sir!

Someone there has the same razor. No info though. There are similar ones in an 1905 catalog, but no exact match. I uploaded some pictures. Hopefully they'll get someone's attention.
In the meantime, here are some more Ebay pictures. Razor should arrive by Tuesday.

Arrived today. It's in great shape. Just needs a honing and a cleaning.
The working on the spine looks pretty badass. Pretty sharp looking scales too.
Nice razor find! I love my bokers, they're great razors. I would even send that out for a restoration.....maybe a rescale? OHHHH MAX.....
Nah, those scales look like they're worth saving. But then again, it's not my razor. If there's a rescale involved, I'd be interested in obtaining the original ones. Don't let them go to waste!
Oh yeah! Max could certainly save the whole thing. He'd probably unpin that covered tang and buff it all up. Glen could probably do it for you too.

No way I'm rescaling this.
Just getting it cleaned and restored!
