Mine came from an estate sale in WI a few years ago. Horster in choice near mint condition with no flaking. Came with the best set of hangers that I have seen, leather and bullion HJ Leader's Belts and Buckles, Leader's peaked hat.
I have had around 10 HJ Leader's. 9 Horster and 1 Eickhorn. It is nearly impossible to find a near mint one without some flaking, especially to the crossguard. Leather also becomes loose easily.
Eickhorns are usually better, but far more rare. There are a few different forms: soft scabbards, externally mounted fittings, functional pommels rather than the pinned on models and some with the Eickhorn TM instead of the RZM marking.
