I reckon its fake

[Sam]

Few stickers seem to be missing , and most scat bats seam to have a yellow grip with sort of streaked black lines coming from the bottom to top?

But then again , I've never had/even seen a scat in real life so see what everyone else thinks  .

Ask the guy for some close ups as the photos aren't great

[Jenko]

Some stickers are missing and the grip is different to standard...I have stickers missing on mine with diff grips though. Ask for shoulder stamps and also how old it is. Julian stamps a number in the face of the bat just below the splice on newer professional bats.

Jenko
exactly what I thought as I have a scat myself and have asked for all the details 

[Jenko]

All over it then mate he says it's custom and isn't sure if it's a SH?? That's different. As you would know his initials should be stamped in the shoulder if it's a real custom.

[Andypara]

yep certainly sounds fishy to me

[LEACHY48]

almost certain its fake, shoulders and toe look the wrong shape

I asked for the weight and he told me it was 400g and then later revised that to 1050g - 2lb 5oz.

Quick way to narrow down is to see if it's a 2 spring handle.
