Sicollector, Nice pickup. you taught me something new. curious it is at 34 inches. they would Not have made an "R.H." pro stock bat, so it is either the real deal, or not, and not something in between like a pro stock. Lengths are largely not recorded for Hornsby in this era, though Hornsby is at 35 inches a year later and his other recorded player orders are at 35 inches and longer to my knowledge. That being said, the last "R.H." certed a Hornsby gamer, which was the one at Heritage, is also 34 inches, and it appears based on the auction description that John gave 34 inches a thumbs up, though I have not seen the letter.
I would be Very curious to see the photo of Hornsby holding the bat with the "R.H.", does anybody have it? that they might post, as it may be generally discerned by those who look at bats a good portion of the day, whether Hornsby appears to be holding a shorter or longer R.H. bat, 34 or 35 or 36+ inch bat.
