A youth model of the zippered version of the 501xx, in the no-guarantee paper patch period.This is the same as the 503BXX, with an offset belt loop. The flasher is gone, but it's still glued and dead stock.
It's slightly tapered compared to the previous one, but it doesn't change the fact that it falls almost straight.
