There is a crack down the RH inside edge which was professionally repaired during the refurb with clamps and wood glue, the back and toe have been sanded down and oiled, and there is no toe guard because I was told if sufficiently oiled there would be no need. There was also a small parting in one of the grains on the face, which was sanded down and now is almost invisible. A couple of stickers been removed in the oiling and sanding processes.

Here is the gallery I made - http://img6.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=p1010173g.jpg

i would have said in the region of �50 maybe slightly less, it looks an ok bat but obviously the damage decreases the value substatially, it is saved by the fact its a 5000 model meaning there must be something going for it

if it has 5 grains then its not grade one.

really apple?
From the Wrights willow website
"A Grade 1 Blade

A Grade 1 is the best looking blade money can buy, though it will not necessarily play the best. There may be some red wood evident on the edge of the bat. The grain on the face will be straight and there will be at least 4 grains visible. There may be the odd small knot in the edge or back but the playing area should be clean. "

Those looking for good Puma bats contact Arvind from Aswani cricket he has some really good Puma bats especially in the 6000 range.

Prices are good too

i heard some were else, that there had to be 6, i think its diffrent for every company

your right, it does vary - different companies adopt different classifications, however, they are more likely to upgrade willow rather than downgrade it
