Nice knives Cal! That 4 bladed equal-end cattle knife is not an easy one to find. Congrats. ::tu::
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).

I researched the Henry Böker Solingen shield on the above two knives and it is believed the shield is from the 1980's, however the tang stamp is pre 1944. I believe the general consensus is these are 1980's era. Böker tricked me again.

Moderators, I've learned this isn't an authentic H Böker BSA knife. I can't figure out how to delete the post. Please clean up this thread as you see fit. Thanks.

Nice score Yehuda! I was watching that one but did not bid. It is quite unusual. I've never seen a shield shaped quite like that on any other Boker knife.
Really cool! ::tu::
