Title: Serial numbers
Post by: Woodyspin on October 24, 2017, 05:49:05 PM
So on my very boring traffic ridden journey home today, i had a thought. Has anyone noticed if any bat makers put a little serial number on their bats so when they come in they know where they've gone and as for giving them to pros they can see which bat's have had the most runs from them?

I think B3 do? could be wrong...

I have a B3 here that someone traded in and it does have a very small serial number on the handle, ‘1695’ by the looks of things.

Isn’t that the code for the shape so you can tel them the number and get the exact shape again?

The blank bat I got off eBay that was apparently a Hawk has one, it looks to have been stamped in then coloured with biro!

More interestingly it was bound with blue twine...

Hawk lettering is usually blue.
