Possible Boker identification
Hello, I have done quite a bit of research on this particular knife and am unable to come to any positive conclusion on the brand and model however I have come to believe it was made circa 1920-1930. the tang stamp has what appears to be the numbers 837 and a star among others, any help and or resources is greatly appreciated

Can you get a clearer pic of the tang or do a pencil rub with paper over it so we can see it a little better?

Looks like it could be a John Primble model 5370 made by Boker - (1950s-1960s?) What is the closed length?
