Hi Joe, check out the spiral palmed glove in the Smithsonian. It is the glove that I was referring to.

I emailed the seller to let him know I sent payment and asked a few additional questions. There is apparently no obvious manufacturers mark on the button. I told him about the debate regarding the web and asked that he check the stitching tightness, seam gaps or an extra layer of leather within the seam where a web could have been cut. He indicated that the stitching is very tight and that there are no gaps in the seam or or extra leather between the seams. This is intriguing!!
