hello all my name is Rosie nice to meet you I'm a newbie and well I've been collecting for a long time I've had machetes swords samurai's I don't have them now because well they got gone but I do have this one and I have another set that I am very very curious about but first off this one is it says robeson from Perry New York on the box I had the original box everything and then on the knife on the Carver then it has Robeson Germany - stainless and I have looked for hours and hours and hours and can't find nothing even remotely similar to this design or anything but what I did find was I found a picture of a black man named robeson don't know what that means but I think it's something to it but I know the German ones okay they were made between 1891 and 1902. this is all I've learned so far I mean I learned about you know Clark and Perry and all them you know how they started out in Wyoming you know and you know through the family business and stuff you know and then there was five kids and then they ended up over there in Perry New York manufacturing there. but this really has me puzzled and I like for you to take a look at it if you could please and please any feedback you know would be appreciated you know whether it's critical or fanatical or whatever I'm all game
