Picked up this Boker, does anyone have any info on age?

[skinny]

I picked this Boker up at an antique store, it seems to have celluloid scales from what I've learned. The logo doesn't match any of the Boker logo's I can find that are out there to date razors. Does anyone know anything about it?

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. Great looking scales, though.

Check this out. I dont think i have seen this pdf before. Just a broken link on a knife forum

I am guessing your razor may have had a bad stamping and missed the tree. But maybe not.

That link didn't work but thank you. I've been told it may pre-date the tree logo. Trying to find some concrete evidence of that.

Thanks for these links, there's something with the same logo in the second link but I'm looking on my phone. I'll read more when I can get to a computer.

Can you save the link rather than go to it?

No idea either, but looks beautiful and in great shape!

Thank you, I even contacted Boker, but they were no help. It's out being honed at this moment.

Appears to be 1940's-50's if u ask me. The "H Boker co." Marking was commonly used at that time. Also the round tip, 5/8 near full hollow indicates it it a "contemporary" style so no earlier that 1940. Prior to WWII spike points or hollow tip notches where common.

Wow thanks, that's the most information I've received about it. It's not just a razor, it's a piece of history and I enjoy knowing something about it.
