My 1056 is a little weathered but it's got some custom water buffalo horn scales to help the look. Either way, I finally got it dialed in on the hones and it shaves beautifully. (Actually selling it for $50 if anyone wants it)

Here's my Boker Imperial. It had a broken scale on it so I replaced the scales on it. The blade was tarnished so I then polished it up with my Dremel. Here's the results.

What did you use on the dremel? What type of polish?

Maas Polish.Use the polishing wheels about 1/2" in diameter & almost 1/2" wide. You have to be very careful & watch which way the Dremel is turning. You want it to turn away from the edge of the blade & not against it. I learned on Lynn's Video. He shows how to use one the correct way or things can go bad. If the Dremel turns towards the cutting edge, it can chip a blade or crack it, especially a hollow ground. I've had some people on here tell me they would never use a Dremel to polish a blade but I've done it many times successfully.

Just be careful & let the tool turn away from the cutting edge. They put a remarkable shine on a blade! Originally Posted by DickWhitman

Sadly I had to let my ivory Böker go.
Just comforted myself with a King Cutler in MOP :

I'm new to the group, but have been shaving with a straight razor for a couple of years now. I literally within the last 2 days have picked up 3 Boker razors for a whopping $60 total. There are 2 King Cutters, one of which (a 4/8 blade) came with yellow celluliod broken scales, and what I believe to be a hollow ground Edelweiss, although the blade has been used enough that any identifying marks are well worn off.
They need a bit of tlc, and a new set of scales which I am planning on making myself, but all still have quite a bit of an edge to them still.

KNOCK KNOCK!! Can I come in? I've attached photos of my Bokers. I have a NOS Tree Brand Arbolito, a King Cutter and one which I'm not sure of, although looking at the post #592 by engine46, I suspect it may be an Imperial with the blade etching worn off.
I'm on the hunt for a 1056 next.
