Title: Do you know what it is?
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 11, 2015, 10:06:22 PM: Here's my latest refurb project.
No clues but I amy answer some questions if they don't give it away.

Can you guess the make and model?
So nobody complains that I reveal the answer too early I won't reveal what it is until tomorrow some point after 5pm!

Post by: InternalTraining on February 11, 2015, 10:20:24 PM: The top of the handle and the shape (looking up from the toe) is similar to a GM bat. There is concaving but can't tell which GM model.

Nice grains!

Post by: amritpremi on February 12, 2015, 06:37:10 AM: I'll like to make other guesses than already done. Something very H4Lesque or a Pumaesque about it.

Post by: FattusCattus on February 12, 2015, 11:08:13 AM: Has it got a dowel running through the face up near the splice?
Title: Re: Do you know what it is?
Post by: smilley792 on February 12, 2015, 11:12:10 AM: I reckon still ton/ss of some kind!

It has indeed - I asked the seller about that and was told this was done by the manufacturer to repair a shoulder crack.
It doesn't seem to be causing any problems so I'm not worried.
If I told you how much the bat cost me you'd understand why! ;)

Post by: 400notout on February 12, 2015, 11:29:52 AM: Second guess would be Newbery.

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 12, 2015, 07:28:30 PM: Any more for any more?
Answer revealed about 8pm

Post by: smilley792 on February 12, 2015, 08:02:26 PM: It's 8 o clock that's what it is!
Title: Re: Do you know what it is?
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 12, 2015, 08:04:32 PM: The first guess was correct! It's a GM Epic 808 (I think it was an 808 anyway)
