Hi, I’m new here, but this forum has been recommended to me before. I have a question about a game used bat and was wondering if anyone can help me. It’s a 2003 Louisville slugger game used bat from a high profile player. There is a heavy coat of lacquer. I’m trying to figure out if this is something that was done Louisville slugger or potentially somebody after the fact. I’ve gotten mixed opinions so far. The lacquer is peeling/cracking.

Thank you for any help!
