    Hey Ricky

    Thanks for joining our community. We have fun here sharing our collections and getting to know each other. I'm a Boker fan too- actually starting with Bokers when I got back into collecting as an adult. Here's the one that started it all off. The titanium Super liner :)

    Glad you joined us and Welcome! Look forward to your participation. btw- check out the Boker Group here- see Groups on the main menu and scroll through them and you'll see it.

    Hey Buddy,

       Yeah it's been awhile since I've been on AAPK. I've been flooded with knife orders which has kept me busy. There was also the Knife Expo 2011 here in So. Cal this weekend which kept me busy as well. I should be back on AAPK for an auction in a few weeks. Hope to see you there.

    Hi Ricky,

    Thanks for your note and the suggestion on the Boker group. I'll have a look. I don't visit here very often as running KNIFE WORLD and traveling to the shows takes a ton of time, but I try to keep up with what's happening as best I can.

    Hi Ricky,

    Well, excluding the Remscheid stamp labeled G1 on the chart, this is a pretty old knife. Hard to really say when this was made as there's not much to go on. It does appear to be imitation ivory celluloid so that likely puts it before WWII, and the true wharncliffe -- with a wharncliffe master blade -- is a very old pattern but as a shadow (no bolsters) and with a bail added, I can't imagine this knife being any older than about 1910 or so -- just guessing (I used to collect wharncliffes, a long time ago).

    Based mostly on the markings, I would guess that this wasn't made for the American market, but likely for another English speaking market and Australia would be a good bet. Let's say c.1910-1940 for a wide range. Most of the knives I've seen with the crossed arrows logo have been much later, 1970s, but I think that Roger Russell has an older fixed blade marked much like this and maybe I've seen one more. Definitely rare markings, at least here in the states.

    Hope this helps -- just my opinion of course, and everybody's got one!
