Your bat is definitely hand turned, and also definitely a retail bat. There was a period of time when bat authenticators thought Wagner decal bats with the “40 W” branding may have been professional model bats. This was because all of the other retail decal bats had the first and last initial of the player next to the “40” and this bat only had the last initial. I owned a Wagner 40W bat years ago that was authenticated as a professional model bat, however in the years since then catalogs and ads have been found where the 40W Wagner decal bat is clearly depicted and listed as a retail bat.
