The earliest versions of the Spectator didn't have a pocket under the flap. The Spectator WITHOUT the underflap front pocket was intro'd some time around mid-1987 as a style 9795. The front pocket was added in 1988 and the style number changed to 9796.

So you have a style 9795 from 1987 or early 1988. I posted the wrong date information for the catalog picture, the pic in my earlier post is from Spring 1989. Here's the pic of the no-front-pocket style 9795 from 1987:

Aha! Mysyery solved. Thank you for all the time you spent on this for me. Aprreciate it!:tpfrox:
 
Hi there-- could someone please authenticate this bag before I pay? I know it's a bit backward but was a spur of the moment purchase. I haven't seen one like this (not that i've been looking) but I like the clasp, like the binocular bag.
