Photos attached questions closest year. Looks like it will list best as a Texas Jack Both blades are scratched but not much use.
From trying to research it there does not seem to be too many of them around. Any info offered will be appreciated. As indicated in subject it is 4 inches closed 7 inches with one blade open 10 inches with both open. The condition is good walks and talks good. Handles no abuse springs, frame and fit is great.
thanks

I can’t tell you anything about it, other than I’d be real proud of it! Love the pattern, and I love old Bokers. That one checks both boxes!

I think Boker called it a trapper knife back in the mid 1960s when this one was made.
The GREAT WESTERN etch was only used on a few patterns, the other being a 4" stock pattern.
That particular delrin pattern handle is what is usually called "Tree bark", and was only used on Solingen made Boker knives in the 1960s era.
Good looking old knife, moss.

Thanks for the info. Appreciated. I think there may be a couple more monikers, one being a Premium Double end Cattle Knife.
