Herbert As a Contract Knife Sometime in the 1940’s.
Very little is known about H.D. Herbert and so far I’ve only seen his name listed in Goins but with no further information. What I do know is this was a contract knife made at the Boker factory in Solingen, Germany sometime in the 1940’s. It was on a salesman’s sample board in the Boker factory and was taken by Ernst Felix, a former president of Boker, when he left the company. This salesman’s sample knife came off one of those boards. This Rare example has an unused and unsharpened carbon steel spear point main blade with a common nail pull. Both blade faces still retain their original factory mirror polish and original factory edge. Stamped on the front tang is W.D. (over) HERBERT. The secondary blade is an unused and unsharpened carbon steel pen blade with a common nail pull. It also maintains its original factory mirror polish and its original factory edge and both faces remain unblemished. Stamped on the front tang is DRGM which stands for Deutches Reichsgebrauchsmusters. This was a way for German manufacturers to protect their product without actually having a patent. It was used between c.1891-1952. Both blades still have excellent hard open and close snap. The knife has a nice set of green and black imitation water Buffalo horn scales. They’re in great shape with no cracks, splits or missing chips. The knife has a single polished steel back spring and its free of any cracks or breaks. Both springs continue to perform the functions they were designed to perform. This rare beautiful vintage Boker made Equal End Shadow Pen folding pocket knife is in near mint to mint condition. The knife is 3 1/4” in length. Additional photos or information on request.
