Hi all,

Added to my growing collection today was this Vanson that the seller and I weren’t able to identify. I’m relatively knew to the finer things in life and in wondering if someone more knowledgeable can help me identify the model?


- Black
- Competition weight
- No armor

As you aren't getting any hits from anyone here, you might contact Kim at Vanson. She is the owner's wife, and has good knowledge of all things Vanson.

Don't know how long Kim has worked there, but Vanson has been in business since about 1975, so some of the product might pre-date her. But it's worth a shot.

I’ve never seen a Bravo, looks like a Marauder, though maybe they were the same? Was there a patch removed from the breast?

Bravo is a rare-ish style they haven't had for a very long time but I don't suppose it wasn't exactly the pinnacle of popularity. It's similar to Marauder, that's true. I first saw it on Yahoo Auctions and also wondered if it's some kind of Japanese exclusive or something but turns out it's not.
