When was the first time this pattern was built?
This old Boker 7593 has some characteristics not included in others 7593 or 182, like the splitter in the spring, it looks like an old design.
I'll appreciate your dating information.

Re: old Boker 7593 info
I had an Edw.Tryon scout knife that a an extra wedge liner that was along one of the side liners.I was told that the knife may have been made by Miller Brothers but was an educated guess.They needed more room on that in to get all the blades to fit.I don`t think I still have it but will check tonight when I get home.
Nice old knife.

Re: old Boker 7593 info
This Boker model type dates to at least as early as 1935, but I don't believe it was sold in the US market until about 1955. It was offered with genuine bone handles up until at least 1967 and had synthetic handles by 1972. I have not seen (or remember seeing) that extra splitter piece on one of these models before and would assume it was an older variation. But just how old would be pretty tough to know. Enclosed is an example nearly the same as yours but without the splitter piece or the grove lines in the bolsters as yours has (another early trait).
