Thats no problem.

The big reason i want to sell them as a set is there is not many poeple collecting them and if i sell them off piece by piece its going to drop the value of them.

Some guy was here and he said the set as is with the 1995 one missing is worth about $9500 to $10 000.

hugh,

I am now only missing the 81,83,84,87 and 90. I have duplicates of several others already and do not need more. If you are only interested in selling them as a set, I am out of luck.

Thanks anyway.

Good Day Art

I have the collection you are seeking the only one missing in the set is the 1995 one.

I have 1981 to 1994 and from 1996 to 1999

All of them was never used nor was it cleaned only have some finger print marks on them.

I will only sell them as a set as im not really collecting anymore the place that did bring them to South Africa stopped for a few years so i was not able to go on with the set.

I also have a few other Boker knives that is collector items like the 1982 and 1992 Wildlife series and the limited edition Yankee Collection also the R.M.S Titanic and 1987 200th Anniversary of our Constitution and also have a forty-niner.

Regards

Hugh

Hugh, Looking at the newer knives, you are right about the "asking" prices. The only older one currently listed is a 1996 for $264 or best offer. I think an offer of $250 buys it.
Of the 32 knives I have in this series, the average I paid was $286 and lowest price I paid for one was $106 for a 1986. I am interested in buying the years I am missing but your price expectation and mine are too far apart.
Good luck to you. art
p.s. The photos you posted are great.

I would be willing to pay my average price; that would be $286 each; for the 1981, 1983, 1984, 1987 and 1990.  That would be $1,430. However, I don't know how we could make that purchase/sale securely.

I know only that I have seen these "commemorative" knives available for sale from time to time, but like most Boker, there are not many collectors willing to pay good prices for them. They seem to sell as if they were any other Boker, based on handle material and whether or not they are serialized and if so, how large the series.

So, Hugh, have you thought about what you would like to sell these knives at?
