I recently inherited my grandfather's Boker. He passed away a while back so I don't know any the details of this knife. I've searched the internet only found limited information.
Can anyone tell me what model this knife is and when it was made? The markings on the blade look similar to these: http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 60&t=17056
I've looked at the 2009 KnifeWorld article on Bokers but none of the stamps look like mine.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Date of Grandfather's Boker
Here ya go. I'll dig for model number. Kinda looks like a 6066 stockman but with a punch. Is the length closed 4" ? Is that a punch on the left side of the first picture or a worn out blade?
Re: Date of Grandfather's Boker
It is 3 1/2" long closed. I saw that picture in the KnifeWorld magazine but did not think it matched the script on my blade. The top part of the 'k' in Boker on my blade bends forward not backward. Are there variations on this script?
Forgot to answer your last question: It is a punch.
The sheepsfoot blade (is that the correct term?) also has the Boker name and tree on it. I'm not sure about the punch blade there's a lot of rust and pitting at the base.
The spring for the sheepsfoot blade and punch is broken. Do they still make parts for this knife?
I added a couple of larger pictures if that helps. Thanks for the help!
