To add even more insult to charging £700 for a bat or even if you can pick this up for £550 or what ever the retailer sells for is this even made in UK or is this still Indian made? Any ideas

Pretty certain that the very top end Legends are made at Robertsbridge.
Based on ping looks and the weight I am tempted.

Sure it does, but I have a rather lovely Aldred butterfly 1 and got a leading edge on it last week which chipped a load of wood off and at some point managed to toe one (I can't recall exactly when it happened) and I'm pretty upset about it. Also had a custom made GN bought for me as a present and managed to drop it from a reasonable height causing many scuffs and dings which broke me a little inside. If I'd spent £500+ on a bat even seeing a cherry right out of the sweetspot would be painful!

I have a secondhand £50 Salix and I still sand off the cherries and re-oil every month. got an Aldred G1 butterfly on order so I will probably have to take it to bed with me. A £550 pound bat would never see the light of day.

Yes as soon as i have finished batting i put my bat in yhe car in its soft pocket and bat cover The next day I remove  all the marks of the bat  then put the bat back in its soft pocket and in its bat cover and then in my bat storage display case in the garage and don't take it out its  sleeve untill  I am due to bat the following match.

I think they are Indian made myself as don't think the laser engraving is done in the uk I might be wrong but I am pretty sure they are not made in the uk

There are definitely two different versions one made in india and one made in uk because I had seen two different versions in Indian market one priced at indian rupees 25000 equivalent to 250 pounds and another one at whooping rupees 50000-55000 equivalent to 550 pounds, an year ago. No dealer will sell the same bat for 300 pounds more esp. in India if same is available for less from somewhere else . On Indian sports websites they are sold as Gn9(Indian) and Gn10(UK probably :)) versions of LEGEND. The local gray nicolls dealer where i live once sold a GN9 LEGEND to a software employee for corporate tournament and it didnt look as exclusive as the LEGEND in the video.

Anything carrying GN9, GN10, GN7 as opposed to the usual grading of LE, 5 Star etc etc is a bat intended for the Indian market only.

I'll take a crack at it with my magnifying glass. I was lethal in my youth, ask all the ants.

That is 100% true..I bought a MAVERICK Gn3 which had 4 star written under its sticker...the point is if indian made bats are stickered differently for Indian and UK market ,then why cant UK made LEGEND be stickered  in the Indian GN factory and sold as Gn10 version of LEGEND..  :)
