The paperwork inside mentions celebrating the Bi Centennial and there is a 1974 on said paperwork. So I'm guessing the 70's. Thanks.

A couple of very nice Bokers ya got there GSP! I really like that pick bone.

On a side note, I've noticed that a lot of Boker knives seem to lose their shields. I haven't taken the time (yet) to research if it is confined to a specific time frame.

Sasquach, I have seen a couple of threads on the lost shields... I have a couple myself and on Monday I sent an email to Boker customer service trying to get an answer on getting new shields ::hmm:: so far no response :x

I love those Boker stockmen... and I love the bone puts on there knives, they are great blades... just a mystery why they lose such lousy glue! ::shrug::
Although it was also a problem in WWII for them in making a good glue ... and that is why they could not copy the British Mosquito effectively ... ::hmm::

They could solve the problem by pinning the shields. Or get some Gorilla Glue. :lol: You'd think they would address the problem if it occurs so frequently.

This one lost the shield in my pocket years before I started seriously collecting. If you look closely you can see that I didn't glue it back in correctly. I couldn't remember how it was positioned so I did what looked right. From the factory the top of the shield emblem faces toward the front bolster.
