Just got some bokers at an auction I'm new to this eny advice to what they are would help I'll attach pics
Re: Got bokers at auction eny advice new to this
I see a few trappers and commemorative stockmans. It would help if you took individual pics of each knife with clear close ups of the tang stamps, shields and blade etchings. These pics aren't good enough to determine a detailed identity as per condition, place of manufacture etc. They look like a good group and worth getting the background on them.

Some of those are Boker USA, which I find are just as good a knife as the Soligen Bokers, and much cheaper, usually. Carbon steel blades get scary sharp.

I see Boker USA as good knives to collect. The quality is similar to other USA made knives of the same time period (~ 1900-1980), but fewer people collect them so prices are lower, still quite affordable to most of us.
