Dave,
I would not send the bat to PSA(or GAI), I would take it to them personally. If it is authentic I would think it would be worth $20K+. It shows nice use and even a few notches on the handle(for homers).

The bat apears to be from Dimagio's early years(1934-44). By looking at the label you can tell approximently the year. H&B used the "trade mark reg." on their bats during this period.

You could get a specific year with by finding out which model it is and matching that up with the model Joe used for that year. Unfortunatly they did not start putting model numbers on the bats knob until 44'.

A very nice bat.I love Joe Dimaggio, I still hate the Yankees!
