Hi everyone !
Greetings from south Brazil ! Rio Grande do Sul state.
I am new to this Blade Forum and I was hoping someone could help me out identifying the brand of this vintage (is it really vintage ?) carving set I bought from eBay USA. Refer to the link below:

Any and all comments regarding brand, age, vintage status, quality, etc... are more than welcome !
Cheers guys

Not that old, perhaps 1930's - . But most likely post WWII. FK on the ticket = Friedrich von der Kohlen. They are a kitchen knifemaker now, and were still around as of a few years ago.
They might've subcontracted the work to another maker, as a lot of Solingen cutlers offered these sets, particularly post WWII - early 1980s. 1874 is when Friedrich von der Kohlen started in business, not the date of the set.

Here's a huge similar Post WWII set by Anton Wingen -

Hi tltt ! Tx heaps for the prompt reply and information provided 👍👍
I am trying to learn about this oldish knife makers. I also bought another set (similar) which I think the brand is Rehwappen. Is it a known brand/knife maker as well ?
Thanks again !
Cheers
