I have a nickel silver Luft sword that has a green colored Moroccan leather on the scabbard. It's been on there forever.
I know that when Luftwaffe officers were invalided out of the Luftwaffe, or for whatever reason, were not in that particular branch of the service anymore, that they were sometimes re-employed by Goering's Forestry Service. I have seen some Luft Visor hats with Forestry insignia on them. Would green leather have anything to do with that? All I have is conjecture. The green is uniformly all over the scabbard. The handle is still the blue leather.
You thoughts?
Thanx,
Tim
