The history of Boker Knives from their start until modern day
It all started with the Boekor tool factory in Rhemscheld, Germany which in the 17th century was the largest tool producer in Germany and the surrounding countries. Boker started producing sabers and various other cutting tools in the 1820's because of the pure demand. When they decided to move their company overseas, Hermann Boeker traveled to new york city (where he decided to rename the company "boker" for pronunciation reasons), Robert Boeker traveled to Canada (then later traveling to Mexico where the company spread to S America getting its roots in Brazil), and finally Heinrech Boeker went to Solingen Germany, the modern hub of knives in Ger., where the company is based primarilly today. that is a brief history of the boker knife factory!!--comment!

Generally speaking, if it's bone it was made prior to 1965. Does it have a round shield on the handle?
Got any pics to share?

Shield is more the shape of a badge, but it is. Worn smooth

Now we're closing in on it. Sounds like late 1940s to circa 1955.
Does it look kinda like this?
