Thanks John. Boker used that trademark from 1887-1918. I know it's 1891 or later because it has the country of origin (Germany) stamped on the back-side of the tang.

Roger, An awesome old knife--- I came across a B&W drawing that was from a 1910 Boker Catalogue--  The drawing looks remarkably similar to yours--- Jigging  and profile and damascus etch--- That might help narrow down the date if is was in production in 1910--- Anyhow, I love seeing these old beauties in loving hands !! Kudos

Thanks Jan. It's one of Boker's old trademarks. It even has a tree stamped on the back-side of the tang.

WOW, I have never seen that tang
