This piece was issued in 1995. It POSSIBLE that as of that time, APs were not numbered or marked as such. However around that time, they began to write "AP" on the flag.

It COULD be that the piece was displayed for a long time in a store case or window and the number that was written on the piece faded off. This would be supported if the overall colors on the piece were faded and not strong.

Does the piece have the typical rounded-corner square product sticker on the bottom?

Did you purchase this from a dealer directly?

More information would be needed before it could be identified for certain.
