It seems very similar to my Wilson A9835 SB-Special, my very first e-bay purchase. (Well, duh, Cowboy, look at the model numbers!), but just a bit bigger ... a 12.5 inch as opposed to a 12 inch model. Also, the A9835 was made in Korea, as plainly seen on the wrist patch, but the A9854 was made in Taiwan, according to a tiny stamp on the back side of the pinky finger.
A neat feature, hard to see in the pictures of the Force 1: the Wilson label on the back wrist strap is recessed, or framed, in the leather. It gives the label a richer, 3D look.
Love that chocolate brown look!
A9835 interior; SB Special stamp is very similar to Force 1 stamp. In fact, all stampings are identical. (Grip-Tite Pocket, Nylon Stitched, Snap-Action in the hinge, etc.)
Peas in a pod ...
In the near future, I would like to add a Mint or Near-Mint Force 2 and Force 3 glove to my collection.
