Any idea of the makers mark on this German knife?

Hello All,

I have this German camper knife with a mark that looks like a bow and arrow with an inverted key.
I really would appreciate any help if any of the members could let me know the maker of this folder.

Thank You!

Thanks Ken and the Eyebrand ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ::td:: ::td:: ::clapping:: ::clapping:: ::clapping:: ::tu:: for your help.
Does it matter that the knife has no medallion on the scales? As all the Sailors knives I saw that were made by Boker had the tree medallion. Thanks

That's really useful information. I do agree it's not a Schrade. I also checked the 'Tina' brand budding/grafting knife, which looks similar and has the wood scales as well. But the blade profile differs a bit! ;)

Hello all,I picked up this knife a few days ago and just cleaned it up. I love it but have no idea if it's a pruning knife or some other. Would appreciate any more information.No markings I can see except a 'sta' on tang, (remnant of stainless steel ?)
