Looking for info on a Rawlings PRO434B

[fredderf]

I can't find much of any info on this glove/model.

I don't know if it wasn't produced long, but there are some weird things on mine.

The model #, has no hyphen, PRO-434B, its just PRO434B.

Very narrow in the body, reminds me of an old MZP82.
Leather quality is really nice, Oval patch, must be 2001-2005ish.
And the labels have all been removed ( I assume used in a college that was sponsored by another brand).

It's a 4 web, so could it be a game day model for a guy who wore #43?... or #34?

But wasn't there also a Pro440 or Pro460 or something like that that was a 12.75" glove that was narrow and measured more like 12.25"? I cannot recall the exact number though.

Def a narrow glove. Maybe like an old PRO-TB (1980's.)

this may be completely wrong, but it looks a lot like a Wilson KP92. Kirby Puckett's number was 34

Same pattern to the Old ones. They were narrow too.
So far, l think Xavier Nady used something similar.

Most likely the sibling of the 435 (same size and same distinct thumb welting pattern). And as Rous pointed out the 4 web, the 435 generally has the 5 web (double bar single post).

Haha, when I saw the dual welting on the thumb, I thought to myself "that doesn't look like a Rawlings." But the fingers are single welting. You are right, it looks like a KP92, except for the welting.

The Pro-435! That's the one I was thinking of. Thanks Bunt, I was about to start searching Pro-401, Pro-402, Pro-403, etc. until I found it.

Thank you gentleman.
