Help identifying racquet...old or new?

The Djoker

Semi-Pro
I picked up a Pro Kennex Graphite 88 from a local used sporting goods shop. I think the frame is older (says "The world's largest racquet manufacturer", which i'm pretty sure is no longer true; maybe it is) mainly because of the design. 88 sqin head, no bumper guard, graphite composite, ~12 oz (maybe a little over, no scale), and the sweetest leather grip I've ever felt. The grip says Pro Kennex Genuine Cowhide and has a code of some sort on it: AK406849.

The thing is, this racquet is in 9/10 condition, due to some scratching on the head, and would be rated higher if it had a bumper guard! I couldn't find anything online about the racquet, and the guy at my local pro shop hadn't seen one before; his best guess was that it may have a been a racquet that Pro Kennex made specifically for a certain Sporting Goods retail chain. Here are some pics. What do you think?

Not sure about the racquet, but my PK Composite Aces have the original PK Genuine Cowhide as well. It is indeed an amazing feeling leather grip. Nice find!
