A courteous and very educated bat collector gave me this information.
Obviously the end of the barrel has been cut off.
The area that has been removed had the model number of the bat.
Judging by the knob, the bat is a post 1930 bat.
The knob stamping appeared on Hanna bats that were available to retail outlets.
The same stamping has been seen on pro bats.
Without the model number it cannot be determined if the bat was
manufactured strictly for pro use.
Hope this helps
Thanks,
Matt
