Louisville Slugger has good Q & A that explains the different H & B logo's, etc. that help date their bats.
The experts examine the logo, length, weight + providence,barrell markings,etc. to ID a Game Used bat.
Store Model bats length are usually stamped on the end and weigh less. Example: A L/S Mantle store model bat are stamped MM4 for 34 inches, MM5 for 35 inches and so on..
Example:L/S 125 Cobb game used bats were anywhere between 34.25 to 34 1/2 inches in length
I believe L/S stamped the length's on most series 40 Store Model logo, but not sure when they started to stamp Initials + lengths on the 125 Pro models.
I'm no expert by any means, just a rule of thumb for me---
