This is what I read:
Boker, USA was bought by J. Wiss & Sons in 1969, and the only stamping Boker has ever used as far as known is "Boker, U.S.A."

So yes, Boker has been around, even way before the 70's as for that pattern number, I can't help you as I only have maybe 10 Boker pattern numbers in my books. Hope this helps you out somewhat!
