You are thinking of L.g.nigra (Eastern Black kings) from Tennessee, not L.g.nigrita (Western Black kings..aka MBK's)from the Sonoran Desert. Anyway, yes, there used to be some true amel nigra around many years ago, but the authentic lines seemed to basically disappear altogether. A fair number were crossed into the Eastern Chain kings (L.g. getula) and are sold as such now and then.
