I know you can pick up the second and third type Swiss M1918’s for a dollar a dozen but how about the first type, with a continuous ring liner?

Also, I think I read someplace that the first type where only made with a smooth finish and painted light green and they NEVER came in black. Can anyone substantiate this?

I ran across a First Type today, first one I’ve ever seen myself but I don’t know how uncommon they are or if they are worth anything. I’m doing a little internet digging but always interested in the expert opinions on here.

Thanks in advance,
