Saw this and.......well you know the rest!
« on: November 07, 2013, 08:26:09 PM »

While perusing the internet I came across a bat I hadn't seen since I were a young lad. I had an Insignia at one point when I was younger and it was a gun so couldn't resist buying this. Although it weighs 2lb 11oz, the pick up is crazy and at no point would I believe it was a 2lb 11!

Just thought I'd post a few pics for you guys to see. Not sure ill get a chance to use it with a few others I cant let go of, this may well wait its time in my garage.

Love the profile.

I have a Hunts County Insignia which is the same shape as the reflex. Was the Insignia before or after the Reflex ?

They were both available around the same time, although the Insignia stayed around longer. I have one of each and I wouldn't expect the insignia to look like the reflex at all .

Very similar, I think the reflex was more cut out at the bottom than the insignia.

It's in the garage at my parents along with some old school bats with bits missing and stump marks on the face where the bat face was used to hammer the stumps!!


I have a picture of me about 4 years old with a County Colt, think it was the last time I played a text book forward defensive

I will put some pics up tomorrow of the insignia I have. It's the same shape as the reflex ? Unless it's been re stickered at some point during its life ?

No, far from it. I'll dig my two of and photograph them side by side, unless someone wants to pull the two profile shots from the vintage bats thread.
