Frankie Frisch Bat

Can you show the factory stampings on barrel of the bat?

Here's the barrel.

Center Brand label may give more information. I am not a true bat expert but with the center brand can maybe give you a good idea if it is a professional model or retail model bat.

unless the R is part of a model number "R36" as an example, then it could be a factory reject as H&B placed R's on the knob of bats that did not meet quality control at final inspection

Sounds like a reasonable explanation but likely means it was never used by Frisch even if a professional model. Post a picture of the center brand and at least we can determine if it is indeed a professional game model bat even if it was a reject. It would still have decent value.

It's a 40K model and will post a pic when I get home.

OK. Thanks

The 40K would represent a cork grip on the bat. It could be retail or professional as far as I know. Frisch was known to use the cork grip bat during his career. The center brand label will give more info.
