Boker repair restore
Not sure if this would be a repair or restore. It was taken apart, and a new bolster put on, cleaned up and my mark placed inside the pile liner, and new G10 scales put on. I had intended to remove the Swinden Pin, but it was tight so I decided to keep it. Any comments, advice welcome. Thanks to just bob for the bolster and red bone for the Case Barlow.

That does look nice! You did a great job on that.

Re: Boker repair restore
I would call that a nice restoration job!
Nothing changed except the handles (they won't stay good celluloid for ever)
And the missing bolster added!
Nicely restored!

Re: Boker repair restore
Thanks to all, for the nice comments, it means a lot from you guys.
My next one is a Case, I think. It has good handles, but the sides have shifted somehow, hard to explain what I mean, but the pin would have to be bent. I hope all that it requires is take apart, cleanup, and reassemble. I will post pics when I get started.
Thanks again
