The pattern is a 9361, "scout" pattern.
Boker started using the BOKER/USA tang stamp circa WW2.
There is catalog evidence that they used that particular shape on the can opener until 1954.
So I'd say for certain sometime between 1941-1954. Sorry, I know it's a 14 year span, but sometimes that's as close as you can get with a Boker.
I couldn't give a good estimate as to value. If the tip of the leather punch wasn't broken, it might get to the $60-$80 range on an online auction. Boker knives tend to be undervalued. I would guess you could get $45-$50 for this one.
It is a pretty good example of a Boker from the early post-WW2 era.
See sample catalog pages attached from 1941 and 1950.

<edit> Are the liners iron or brass? Iron may indicate WW2 or mid 1940s manufacture.

The Bokers in the catalog show shields but the one in the pictures does not have a shield. I'm not sure what that means, it's just an observation. ::suspense::
