What is this mark on the bat? Is it a butterfly stain?

Also what grade do you think this bat is. I bought it straight from a manufacturer in India

Looks like a small butterfly or bar stain to me - take a look at http://www.cricketbatwillow.com/imperfections-in-willow

Looks a nice blade :-)

Is it a smooth shiny mark? they probably said it was grade 1

Reckon it is grade 2 purely because of the mark.

Take closer please

[johnnyw]

I will get a close up pic inside the hour. I have not got a clue what the mark is. The blade is completely clean on the back and around the splice

Will reveal the grade and price later

Run your palm over the area is it raised compared to the rest of the face?

Does it go into the hitting zone?

It's the flash of your camera reflecting back

[johnnyw]

The bat is not raised when I rub my hand over the mark

Here is a close up pic but its hard to get a pic without daylight and using a flash

dont look like butterfly mark to me

looks like little water stain.
I do love a bat with character!

I bet it is a go-er.
