Thanks Ricky. It took me a long time to find that one. Now if I can just find one like it with horn handles, I'll be .

Re: Early Boker Knives
Here are a few more. I think I may have shown some of these in another thread...
top is a jacknife I estimate to be made ni the 1930s.
Middle is an H. Dorwal: Made in Solingenby Boker, distributed to Canada by the Remscheid Bokers.
Bottom is a Valley Forge knife made in the New Jersey Boker factory, sometime beween 1921-1950. Got this one from vikingdog. Next are a couple of old pearl gentlemen's knives: First one has the script Boker tang stamp which indicates a US made knife circa 1928-1930s. Second one has "Boker's Cutlery Germany" on both blades. German made (1891-1944).

Re: Early Boker Knives
Nice group of knives Ricky. I especially like the Valley Forge swellcenter. I've been looking forever & a day for an Improved Cutlery in that pattern. I'm not that particular in my search; I'm only looking for one each in bone, ebony, pearl & stag in NM-M condition.

bigdaddys8ball: Thank you. It has taken me quite a few years to find the knives I have. You can use the link below and see a bunch of my knives, though I don't have all of them photographed. I'm glad you liked them.

Re: Early Boker Knives
Thanks for the extra pictures of it
I have several of these type knives almost all of them German made.
This is the first Boker I have seen, I like it when they have a shield, and some brands put a shield on both sides of the handle!
