I'd not seen that catalog before. Outstanding! My Belt has no model # on it but looks like it might be an F-17 Competition

I'd like to know what kind of leather those thicker Belt saddle's are made from. Water buffalo? I remember wondering if North Viet Nam was a buyer's market for collateral water-buffalo hide from 1967 to 1973.

I've never seen any figures to support that idea, but for a while the Belt on my 1970 Schwinn S/S was a model # B-52.
