More 508 vs 509
As you can see from the image below the 509 vs 508 there are 2 very clear diffrences .
unlike the 509 the dashed lines on the 508 go all the way to the bottom of the bag without stopping before the tube spring ,there is no space.
same goes for the top ,because the opening of the cloth slide cover is in the front on the 508 the dashed lines goes all the way to the top under the flap. which is the second obvious difference.(front stitched cloth cover)
as for he replica of the 1st 508 bag on the website it's just that and if you look at the bags page it clearly states replica . it does exist tough and i hope to one day update the site with it.
now in regards to white bags or the tan bags I guarantee you they are really just faded bc of the type of dye used. The original gray on the 508 is a greenish dark gray but with model 509 on it was just gray.
I'm firm on this and I agree to disagree.
