Instructions for entering the giveaway...This month TPK (Tom) has donated a Boker USA Limited Edition 4-Bladed Congress knife measuring 3 5/8" inches closed that was released in late November 1975 as part of a 25-knife series to celebrate America's Bicentennial. Series #1 consisted of 12 knives and was released between May 1974 & July 1976 by Boker USA. Series #2 also consisted of 12 knives from Boker USA and was released between August 1976 & June 1978. In between Series #1 & #2, there was yet another 25th knife in the "Overall" Series. This one, however (a Folding Hunter) was produced by Böker in Solingen Germany. A very cool & interesting knife Series to read about that covers a lot of American History.
This 1975 - Boker USA Congress knife has a total of three Tang Stamps.
#1) Boker (over) USA,
#2) Model Nr.: 1778 with Tree Logo
#3) Serial Nr.: 1 8508
The shield features the sinking USS Maine and says, "Remember the Maine". The master blade etch reads “Rise to World Power". Furthermore, this knife has brownish-red, jigged, synthetic handles, Carbon Steel Blades, Pinched Nickel Silver Bolsters & Brass Liners.
To the best of my knowledge, this knife has never been carried, used, or sharpened & has been in my showcase for the past couple of years.
Shipping from Germany to the U.S. could take up to two weeks so please be patient. Good luck everyone!
