Default Ted Williams W183 Bat-Need some help

I picked this one up at an estate liquidator's shop in Mass today...
In doing some google research on my way home I realized that this is a model that Williams used...

bat measures 34&7/8-35" from end to end, I weighed it on my dad's mini scale (which may be off) and it tipped at 31.4 oz... the bat has a hairline crack that runs from 6" on the handle about 20" just past the brand label... The crack has been crudely repaired with 3 small tacks and then taped over (seems like an old restoration)...

Knob is 2" wide and says "w183"

Bat has seen better days marks on the barrell, some grain seperation on the reverse... dings throughout, a few ball marks still noticeable and some nicks that would be consistent with that of a metal cleat

so here is the golden question, could this be a William's gamer?

As Always, I really appreciate any opinions.
