Any idea if this Boker Sailors knife is genuine?

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"
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
