I was in Germany 2 wks ago and came in contact with a 1st luft in nice condition. The unusual part is that the leather on the scabbard and handle was of black Moroccan leather. Maker was Pack.Seemed to be original, as the fit was fine and the leather displayed normal wear. Despite pleas, begging, offers and extolations to the deity of his choice the owner refused to even consider any sale- the old "family treasure" story. Have others seen this variation? Mike
