I'll get a pic of the binding and 'knob'! Ooh  matron.

@Vitas Cricket sorry about pic quality, got this one then camera/iPad gave up!

Binding looks to have a good coating of pva or similar on?  Thin handle and 'knob' is not particularly big!

Not the best photo as you said, but i think i see what i need to see.

I'm no expert on Newbery bats as we don't stock them. The batmaker they use has a few traits, JB has mentioned some info which may be of use, based on the pic and what you've said about the handle, i'd say the bat was made by their maker. Given the genuine looking stickers and what appears to be the right shape, i'd say it's real.

Somewhere Mr Cattus' brain is exploding at all the potential innuendo opportunities going to waste here!

That binding looks like the 3 others I've had made by the batmaker there. It's thicker than other binding I've seen and always has a nice shine to it. I'd say genuine.

For me the binding confirms the bats authenticity

Looks like more than likely an authentic Newbery then. Thanks for all your posts and help guys.

Looks authentic to me. Kudos is about a 1cm shorter blade and longer handle. That is expensive to copy. Compare it to another sh bat. Videos on #itsjustcricket show this feature.
