Wasn't this a gamer

Was this bat considered a pro-model because of no logo on the knob and a hand turned handle? If it was, this may have been one of only a few of his game used bats out there. I was the under bidder, didn't want to bid more just encase i was wrong with my thinking. Any thoughts?

The seems to be the theory. MEARS places a lot of weight on the absence of a stamp on the knob and on the presence of lathe marks or other signs of being hand turned. Of course, a shipping label helps, like the one that was found on a Frank Chance bat.
