This one is from a trade and is pretty old. The back seems pretty much OK except for the old repair to the buckle strap. The mitt has the heel lacing and I like the permanent rivet holding the thumb to the body of the mitt. I have seen different variations on this but never owned one before.
The front is another story and the wear and tear has taken a toll. The padding has been flattened and a really ugly old repair done to the pocket. I don't know how much damage is underneath.
One interesting feature is the old stitching pattern visible on the face. It looks like a "double palm" pattern but I won't know till I look inside. The remnant of the old buckle web is visible here and most of it is gone except for a couple of leather attachment points for the strap and D-ring. The thumb side is missing everything except the old stitching holes where a buckle and another D-ring used to attach.
I can't wait to tear into this one and see what's up inside
