hi fellas,

whats the opinion on this one?

hilt

The chimp with the dremel tool strikes again.

blade

rune

looks like a repainted sa grip to me.. note the chips around the rune button.... crossguards are not the typical bocker shape either.

a bit of a dremmel polishing?

lower fitting

throat

Just what is "typical Bocker shape"?

bocker crossguards have a bit of a fatter look to them with a flatter look to the quillions. it is described in Tom Wittmann's book on page 32 - 34.

I think you are getting Boker confused with Bocker. The dagger you have shown is an obvious fake.

This is a Boker.

thats the great thing about this, you learn something new every day!!! i was pretty sure it was a dud as my boker is the same as yours too. was bocker a producer of ss daggers?

No. Bocker produced a few SA's and maybe an HJ or two. They are scarce, though. Nats (Stan) has the nicest one I've seen and I've asked him to will it to me when he passes on.
