Its a MPT mate , Gerber won a contract to supply the US military with it , winning the contract over Leatherman I believe
.
It is a bit of a shocker of a MT though a real palm pincher
One for the collectors I think

Thanks,
I thought that might be the case. For everyday use I prefer Gerber's one-hand slide-out pliers. This is the only leather sheathed Gerber MT I seen in person.

Yours looks to be in pretty fine shape GM
There's more about the Gerber MPT here at the Multitool Encyclopedia:

It might not be up to the standard of current top-tier multitools, but I daresay it'd still be a welcome bit of kit to quite a few.
Both your fan and the the instructions show less tools than others..., is this the case?

The problem is the sheath is better than the MT

The leather case seems to be coated in a water-proof grease/oil that has kept it supple after all this time.

Here is a custom MPT. Leave it to me to buy the only one offered on eBay that I know about.
A little Leatherman information.

I have got one of these in the original clampack but it has the nylon sheath. The leather sheath does look high quality though.
