Yep, Boker has been making the 9908 pattern for a lotta years. I think you nailed it on the date Mike. Late 1940s-early1950s.

Nice knife Mike! I agree with Blue on the time frame and he's also correct in saying that Boker has been making that pattern for a long time. Here's three older variations of that same pattern.

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).

Trail's knife looks like a 9229 to me! (electrician's knife / TL-29, etc...)
BTW, anybody see this 1982 salesman's case on ebay?
I'm not bidding, but I do have a birthday coming up..... :mrgreen:

only $10!?!
Good deals can still be found out there. That knife was most likely made circa 1965-1975!
Where else you gonna get a deal like that?

Here is a Boker USA bone handled 9908 that I recently picked up. Secondary blade worn down quite a bit, but both blades still have great snap and no wobble, and I love love those bone handles! Near as I can tell from my research it dates from possibly late 40's to early 50's...sound about right?
