I'm guessing early 1980s.
Boker really came on strong with rosewood handles starting in 1978 and continuing through the 1980s.
I've never seen catalog evidence that illustrates your exact handle inlay, but a similar straight cut shield was used on the Limited Edition knives in 1979, 1980, and 1981.
I've never seen Boker use a straight shield like that before or after. Usually they are arched.
See photos below.

You got an answer from one of the co-authors of the book on Bokers, not sure how much more info you can expect?
