Very Unusual Puma Bat!!! Looking for some info!!
« on: April 13, 2012, 11:59:18 AM »
Hi All,

I got this little beauty of E bay for only £24.00p it weighs 2.7Lb and has made in Australia on the top of the handle. And the shoulders are very unusual as I have never seen shoulders on a bat like this before. Below are some photos and info from bat makers or any Ozzie posters much appreciated.

yeah it looks like a 2005 model like gilly used to use but made in Australia and the weird shoulders wondering if its an early Millichamp Australian Puma bat?

Geraint Jones used one very similar in the 2005 ashes I think! :)

I've got one at home but mines a different shape and I'm sure the shoulders aren't like that

Gilly in 2005 Ashes, 'Castrol' advert where the rest of the grey labels should be?

Yeah it's a strange one I might drop Julian millichamp an email though a guy I work who is an ex Somerset pro tells me it's made by millichamp as he has seen him do shoulders like that before in the past. And I have never seen an Australian made puma before I was hoping some one on the forum might shed some light on it!!! Thanks for the help so far guys I really appreciate!!!

Quite looks like Julian's work, won't be surprised if he made this.

I'd be quite surprised if it was Millichamp made, pretty sure he left Puma well before that!

These are 05 stickers, Julian had left Puma by then.

Possibly Sam Miller or Ben Thane, they were both doing work of some form for Puma Aus at that point.

Well I read his autobiography and states in it as spins as he toured to England with the ozzy squad he bought millichamp and hall bars and put his sponsors logos on them and he says in it he signed for puma as they bought millichamp and hall and created the ozzy puma/millichamp and hall company. I have never seen this profile on a puma or shoulders shaped like this bats are, just hoping you guys could shed some light in it before I e mail Julian millichamp!!!!
