SS Boker Dagger for review.

[wallace0303]

Hello Everyone,
I am interested in buying this Boker, but would like to get your expertise on it. It is a little rough in some spots, but its in my price range. I have one concern on the runes. Not sure if they are just worn, of if anything else isnt right with them. Thank you for your time.

Looks like a nice, early piece -- not in pristine condition but better than many one sees nowadays -- with an especially nice grip. This piece is from the SS Distribution Center in Munich. The scabbard is in good condition, as well, especially the tip ball; I see only one dent in the anodized body.

Good luck to you, wallace0303, and WELCOME AMONG US -- it's good to have you here!

Looks like an Böker to me, if you're good with the condition and price. FYI, the seller is a member here and I've dealt with him several times. A good guy IMO.

Thanks a lot for the quick input. Before I posted this, I did look him up and saw that he has been a member for many years and has a really good reputation. Just wanted to get a second set of eyes on it. I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum for several weeks and my biggest takeaway was that no matter who I was buying from to get it checked out here before I pulled the trigger. Thanks again for your time.

Just wanted to say thank you again to those that responded and verified the authenticity of this dagger...I told him I wanted it. I am officially a dagger collector now!..will make a nice pair with an early eichhorn sa dagger I was given by my grandfather when I was about 10 years old. I think I am hooked now..next one will be an army dagger!
