Any idea if this Boker Sailors knife is genuine?

Post by AntiqueKnives »

Hello All,
I have this Boker Sailors/Rigging Knife bought a few years ago.
The tang stamps compared with the stamp marks chart says that " may also be a repro" ::uc::
My observation:
1. No tree medallion on scale
2. Tang marks are not deeply stamped
3. Ring on knife looks to be different than the sailor model, it's just a circular ring, not a flat one with instructions to release blade.

The blade though is made from high carbon and sharpening it took me a while...

Any comments from the Boker experts on here would be highly appreciated 👍

I'm not a Boker expert, but one will come along and probably want to see some close-up photos in order to make any judgements.
Good Luck.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
