Re: boker tang stamp
I've seen the Tree stamp with Germany wrote through it on Boker knives before, Denny. It's usually been on older knives that I saw it on.

Re: boker tang stamp
Denny, the Germany stamp means it was made after 1891. With that, along with the H. Boker & Co's tang stamp, that knife would have been made between 1891-1910. IIRC, that was one of the requirements of the McKinley tariff.
I was watching that one too. You gonna bid on it?

I probably won't bid unless it's at $10 with 30 seconds left. LOL
