Pre War Barlow Style Boker fresh find.
Pre War Barlow Style Boker fresh find.
My first post here I’ve been lurking for quite some time. Just acquired a farm fresh knife I’ve cleaned it up to preserve it. It has a pen blade that’s snapped off what would you do replace the blade with a blank of the same age or leave it as is since it fairly rare ?

I like the handle. A cool pick up for you. I was once a lurker, you will enjoy it here.

Hi guys, sorry to jump in on your posts, but I always have trouble finding out how to start a new topic.
Anyway, my brother in law has an old Boker Barlow and I was wondering roughly era.
He has had it quite a while. It is bone, no Boker on tang just model number. Boker Tree is on the bolster. Blades are tight. Liners are brass.
Bolsters look iron, but I am not sure. I am attaching pictures.
Thank you so much.

The OP knife is not a Barlow.

The Boker is not a Barlow?
Do you know about how old?

I think edge213 is referring to the knife that started this thread, although I'm not sure of the relevance frankly.
To segue into addressing your question, Beag1eGal, your 492 in what seems to be smooth bone is not pre-war. I suspect it's from the 1950s-60s but I'm just spitballing based on some of the USA Boker Barlows I've had and handled. The liners are brass and I think the bolsters might be nickel silver. Someone will be along with a better idea soon, hopefully...

Everything's better with a Barlow
