Libertesoe Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just looking through @Lenny's list of German dagger makers......interesting to note a Boker in Solingen and now a Boker in the USA! Just an observation for what it's worth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation for what it's worth It's not impossible that both firms were related to each other, albeit separated by war and cultural differences.there were other brand names which existed during WW2 which contributed to both the Allies' and Axis' war efforts.Nivea and Continental both spring to mind! maybe we should begin a list of these firms! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanswolf1224 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 blade marked m3 knives are tough to find. going back they were plentiful and prices were reasonable but, now high and the blade marked examples are way high depending on the maker. i have a Boker guard marked. they are nice knives and never lost their popularity with collectors.
