All About Pocket Knives

I was pleasantly surprised to find a 2 blade Boker congress in the mix, as this will be my first congress and only my second Boker. Although I'm not a huge fan of all the blade etching that is prevalent in modern knives, I do appreciate how easy it is to identify and research a knife when it's model number is front and center. Or so I thought...
This is marked as 5264 and when I look it up I get absolutely nothing. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Good to know it was made in Germany (allegedly)
I'm guessing it's also a newer generation so I was concerned that it may have been chinese.

I have a congress that I acquired that’s marked Solingen, Germany but it’s missing a shield. Can you give any idea about the age of this knife?04ED57B2-F3A3-4B29-8347-2AAC10EFA7CF.jpeg

I haven’t seen many of the Congress models that have ribbed end caps. I really like Boker knives. I’ve been a Case fan for over 50 years but my interest in Bokers continues to grow.
