Kampfmesser 1st pattern with green handle

[Gungadd]

Has anyone seen a 1st pattern with a green handle instead of the black handle?

After receiving this knife it appears the handle has been painted green over the original black handle. Has anyone seen this before?

I was going to mention that when I first saw your thread but not knowing these I held my tongue.

I have always wanted one of these (original or good repro for general use on the property or camping)

Anyway,

Here is a good thread that I have used in the past. Might not answer all your questions but a good starting point. You may also want to PM member Reibert. He might be able to help.

Sorry. I did not see that you already posted this at the end of the thread that I provided above. Hopefully someone gets back to you shortly.

Thanks for the help. Hopefully someone will reply on the other thread.
