What year is my Boker Congress?

[Chris Lee]

Hello everyone I am new to the forum. My Dad gave me a Boker 4 blade Congress years ago. I just recently became interested in knife collecting. The knife is a 4 blade Congress with a Solingen Shield. The blade has #5474 (Which is barely visible)on the main blade and on the Tang is etched Heinr Böker & co Baumwerk-Solingen Germany-Alemania. My Dad got it from his brother and carried it for years after getting it is fairly old,but I'm thinking it is a reproduction of the old Tree brand. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry I'm not familiar with the settings ,so i just included 2 picture links. I hope this helps. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gHm2VFLN7ymif8KW9. https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=6bdc86a9682b67683e26066800917751&oe=5CCC8F82

Hello and welcome. But to really help, we must have some decent pictures which show the knife and its tang-stamps in detail.

Hi and welcome. Here is a link to a thread about Bokers that you might find interesting https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/boker-love.1610930/
The pic in post #15 shows a Congress that is very similar to yours, except for one blade.
Also, on page 2 of the thread, there is a very informative post by @beagleboy the mod of the Boker Forum.
Hope this may be of some help.

Welcome to the forum Chris Lee. That looks like a nice knife, but sharper pictures would certainly help to determine more about it.
Enclosed is a link to a new book on Boker knives that would answer most any questions on Boker knives. There is a whole chapter alone in the book on Congress models such as yours.
