I first looked at the photos; then discovered you mention the crooked stitching in your description. My money's on Jerry Burney, or maybe Bill Lyons as possible sources for real info on this. It impresses me with its crude workmanship. My notion is that it is a one-off, maybe even limited production, by an individual or small shop that had little Q.C. I don't think you'd see anything as bad as this produced/offered in any "official" sense, commercially or otherwise.
