Hi,

I got offered that Boker, but I`m afraid it could be a parts dagger.
On the pictures there are maybe some flags:

-crossguards could be plated, I`m not shure from the pictures. Also they dont look "fat" enough for a boker?
-pommel nut seems to have rust on?
Both, crossguards an pommel should be nickel, or?

by the way, that full rohm motto is a fake, I think, I got it offered by the same dealer.
I think, the MM should be nearer to the crossguard.

Crossguards must be nickel silver,these look like nickel plated and have bad shape.Grip have bad shape.I think this Boker is wrong.

Agreed. And the grip eagle looks kind of picked around.

I would pretty much think so.......as it seems to be the same "blue" background. Wink

Since the Rohm is a fabrication of real and repro and the SS is pieces parts why waste time dealing with people like this ?

Yes, it is the same dealer as I wrote with the Rohm-picture.
The Rohm-motto is for me definitely faked ans was out of focus from the begin.

The Boker looked for me not so bad, scrabbard, blade, grip with rune looked OK for me.
I have only problems with the plated crossguards and the pommel nut, which appeares to be plated steel wit rust on it.
So it must be a parts dagger and so on not interesting for collecting to me.
Thanks for your help.
Udo
