Babe Ruth 40 BR bat question.

[pencil1974]

So I bought this H&B 40 BR bat. Was told that this bat actually isn't a store model bat even the the 40 BR designation is on it. I just got it in hand today and I'll be honest I know nothing about bats.

I must be used to playing softball too much as if I had to swing this damn thing in a game I would probably had a batting average of around zero. I don't know the weight and don't know how to weigh it either.

Any suggestions, help of any kind would be greatly appreciated on all facets of the bat.

Thanks,
Brad

PS - I'm taking to JSA in person for certification.

keep us updated

I will. I live outside Tampa and they will be in Tampa on 9/3 so going to go then. I've owned a few Ruth autos and it looks real to me but with that being said I've been fooled before. My thought is that's a lot of text for a forger to try to do usually they try to make it easy as possible on themselves. But I'll update on that either way when I go. Interested to hear any ideas on the bat itself though.

The bat itself is a 20s store model .
