Leave it to the experts!!! Guys I need your Help!!!
Howdy everyone. I just got this old boker and I have no idea about this one. I look on the internet and a few books and I can't find any about this old boker. First I would like to know appox when was it made. What kind of bone is it. And appox whats it worth. All I can find is that pretty much all bokers after 1860 or 70 had the tree logo this one does not. It has Boker on all three blades. Thank you all for your help.

Re: Leave it to the experts!!! Guys I need your Help!!!
I totally agree. Beautiful old knife. Gorgeous bone!
I don't know much about Boker, in general, but I was thinking Boker U.S.A., too. If it had been made in Germany, and not so marked, it would have to have been made prior to 1891, or for the domestic German market, not for export. It doesn't, however, look like a nineteenth century knife.
I don't think I've ever seen that stamp before.
Great knife.
