1989 Franklin Mint Sportman's Hunting and Fishing Knife Collection
I need some help. I recently acquired this set of 12 knives. Without paperwork but know it is the 1989 Franklin Mint Collection. In reading different forums on this site, I am unsure if this is the correct collection. Some have Soligen Germany, some don't. The top knife is made in Spain with a sticker. If any of you can help me with this collection, I would be grateful.

That is a really interesting set. I like seeing complete collections like this because the small differences between the knives make you want to look closer at each one. The research behind figuring out which pieces belong to the original set is part of the fun too.
