I suppose that is possible, but the bat has all the other characteristics of a Town Ball Bat. The length, knob and surface are all correct.

Also, the "aging" appears the same on the flat ends (as the rest of the bat). This would be nearly impossible to achieve, if the bat were sawed off in recent years.

Also, I pulled an example that was strikingly similar from a previous Hunt Auction (who specializes in early equipment). This very similar bat sold for $2,100 (plus a 10% commission, at the time...) I think it's an original piece.
