Looking for info on this old unique Boker
Guys, this is a knife I picked up at a gun show a while back. I am newer to collecting but something called me to knife. I am not looking to sell this knife I would just like some info on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's a Gunstock Whittler pattern. It dates from 1891-1944 (per Mark Zalesky's Boker article in Knife World). Rare, old knife.
Here's one very similar to it. This one has square bolsters, but other than that, they are close.

A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Thanks for the info Greedy! That's is a very nice one you have as well! This one is getting a cleaning and going into the safe with the keepers. What would you value the knife at? I think I may have done well on it.
