An old Robeson CAMPERS knife I picked up the other day. The bone handles don't seem to match are they genuine? Thanks, Ben

I'm not the Robeson guru, but I know that even more difference than that is very common in old Case knives. Back in the day knife companies weren't making collectibles like they do now. They were making working knives. Slight variations in handle color were no big deal.

That knife looks fine to me. Perfectly matched bone handles are somewhat of a rarity on a lot of the older knives.
I recently missed one on ebay. Looked a lot like this one. If it's the same one, you got a great deal, and I was asleep at the wheel.

You got a good one.

To echo the above, looks absolutely fine to me.
