I've seen a black ref 2179 online . . .
. . . with steel leaf hands.
To the best of my knowledge, the US military order spanned production runs /2 thru /6. I've never seen any 2179 marked /1. But I have seen a handful of 2179 casebacks without a slash.
The black 2179, as well as a few others with divergent design attributes, was one of those early examples without a slash, produced prior to the American military order. I'd love to have one!

I suppose they didn't have this in black? Very nice, Art. Best, Echi
