Real Robeson?

[edge213]

Hey Robeson guys,
Is these an authentic Robeson? If so, what year? I got it at a flea market for 50 cents. It appears the knife has been taken apart by the look of the pins.

I believe it is a real Robeson. One of the later stamps from the 60's best guess. Might be pattern #632750 if it's 4" closed. I seem to remember the bolsters on these are aluminum. Does look like it's been hammered up a bit but a nice buy at 50 cents. Would be worth finding a replacement for the broken blade.

Charlie can give a more definite answer if he tunes in.

Nothing wrong with the knife, except Robeson made them when they were in decline, were trying to save money and the knives were cheaply made.

They made it with the black comp handles and all metal.

The ones with black handles had "birdseye" rivits.
