Symonds Tusker or Slazenger V12 would be my guess.

Hunts County

I'd say hunts county reflex with the toe shape and shoulders.

A shot from the side would help, but based on my experiences of the mentioned bats, it's neither a Reflex nor a V12 as neither of them has the "double" duck bill which this appears to have. I'd think it was more likely to be a Symonds Tusker, but even then, I'm not sure it was quite such a funky shape.
