So i won this on EBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260227086346&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=016
But I can not seem to fins any info on that model. It has a pretyy cool black and red basket web above the tag on th eback of the glove and a partial wingtip too. It's a fastback model. Gold Glove Series and 3 dots stamped on the thumb. Its got Gold Glove Pro-? Tanned cowhide leather stamped in the palm. It is Made in the Philipines.
I'd appreciate any info.
Thanks
Clint

That red and black "basket" weave across the back is a breaking point for the glove, across the player's knuckles. It is designed to increase the flexibility of the glove across the back of the hand as it closes, making the glove more comfortable to use and to catch with. I used one a couple of times with my high school team; a kid had inherited his older sister's softball glove and it was that model. Functional, solid ... not a bad glove.
