I don't think removing the forgery harms the bat or makes it less interesting. Generic bats from the 20's are cool. But if you leave it as it is, you or someone else might look at it to help identify other fakes.

Thank you everyone! I am leaning towards keeping it as is, but hopefully this thread will also help people learn from my mistake. I always use the Net54 photo hosting, so hopefully these photos will serve as a learning lesson for others for a long time.

I think that would be cool if you kept it as is...
Either way, neat bat.
I just wanted to also say it was nice talking to you at the Boston show Alan.

It was nice to meet you as well Brent! I really appreciated your knowledge of early hockey sticks and other vintage equipment. I hope you make it back down in November.
