My new Bokers. Need help to identifie

So I started looking around town at some antique shops and i found two bokers in grate condition. The one with the gold wash was only $13 and the "Silver" wash (i'm pretty sure its just faded gold) came in what i hope is its original box for $35. I'm at a loss as to the <A> stamp on blade and shank and was wondering if anyone could fill me in.Attachment 101617Attachment 101618Attachment 101619
