maybe the 2011 version?

They are effectively the same glove, but they are an unreleased version.

If I recall correctly though, I'm pretty sure MattW from the forum odered a pair of the 2010 Super Test ones from online stockist, but instead received the ones that Paranavitana is using. I'm also pretty sure that they aren't pittards.

So onlinestockist should have them. From what I've heard though, Indian mens gloves are a bit smaller than UK mens gloves. So just keep that in mind.

Yes they are identical in design just a different paintjob I would think.

Yeah I'm sure someone on the forum bought some and was looking to sell a while back (think he ordered 2 pairs). Might be worth putting a thread in the wanted section.
