The wood on those bats can be very dark, but the center brand is off. Under J F Hillerich and Sons, there should be a dash, a dot (or small circle), and a dash, not an unbroken line with a small square in the middle. As I understand it, the straight line under the JF Hillerich and Sons means that it is a modern reproduction.
