One thing I was a little surprised at was that the handle was not smooth.
A couple of things I found that may (or may not) help searches... Ebonite handle scales, and 'swell end'. The VAST majority of the 'swell end' Bokers I found had the metal rear bolster/pommel
You're so right. Back in those days I only had one knife so I carried it everyday. I still have the first knife I ever owned from about 1964. A little John Primble congress that my dad bought me. I have my grandpas knife a Case serpentine and others that all hold a special place for me. I'm sure with more folks now looking I should find some of these. I had seen the one You saw on ebay but it has issues and no smooth handle either. There is a book on Boker knifes that shows these models. Someone on AAPK gave me the info.

Even trying to look for images to see what a 'new' condition knife would look like is proving difficult.
I did find this on ebay of all places, but the blade doesn't to be of an expected shape. But I cannot compare it to anything either...

Oh sweet! Those guys on AAPK are pretty cool about sharing info...particularly on folders. But then that's in the name... :-D
