I scanned this entire thread yesterday and found that I have not contributed anything to it.

I know I've posted Robeson made Barlows somewhere on AAPK, though.

I have sold most of my Barlows and only have three or four now.

Here is a jigged bone handled Terrier with its bolsters embossed, "TCC". That logo reminds me of an early 20th century dapper gentlemen with mustache and pince-nez glasses.

This is a very rare knife. Someone, however, posted a near identical Robeson early in the thread.

I've only seen those two.
