My last couple of "bargains" have left me scratching my head. Used to think I was a decent judge of the leather (or at least a lucky guesser), but I'm not so sure any more. I knew going in that the liner was trashed on this one, but the piping looked pretty good until it disintegrated while I was cleaning the glove. Surprisingly, the leather turned out to be nice and supple even with the chafing and surface cracking ('gatoring?) in the pocket. Really starting to like this glove, though, flaws and all. Wish that at least stamping for the model number had survived. I'll bet it was a beauty when it was new.
