The only problem with 1929 is that Marc Okkonen's Book shows the road jersey from that year having navy piping along the buttons and around the collar. Okkonen's book tends to be incredibly accurate, but a few discrepancies have been revealed. It could be that the original piping has worn off, or that there was another variation not captured by Okkonen.
Considering the potential value, why not send it to Mears for authentication? Sure it would cost some $$ but would provide you peace of mind, and would significantly bolster the jersey's value. I would, however NOT use Lou Lampson or Grey Flannel for a rare piece like this.
