Identifying old boker. Maybe frankenknife

Post by Toyodajeff »

I bought this knife yesterday, tang stamp reads hboker&co's improved cutlery in three lines. There isnt a usa or germany stamp on it and only the main blade is marked. Also the tree on the back of the main blade doesnt really match the other stamps I looked the limb on the tree at about 11 oclock has three little branches but it could just be pitting. Also I dont see a pattern number on it, but dont know if it would have came with one.
Knife has what I believe is Roger's jigged worm or indian trail. I'm not really an expert on the older knives mostly I buy 60s and later case knives but this one looked in ok shape and really old so I got it.
Does anybody know about what year it was made? Or if its had a blade swap.
I think it may be a robeson teardrop jack with a blade swap.
