game used and signed cricket bat

[stasman]

The bat is made by English Willow. The blue wrapping on the handle says "Maruti". As you can see, there is a label on the bat indicating "used and recommended by Javed Miandad" along with his signature. It shows alot of game use (and is very cool). This bat was brought to the States directly from England.

Any information would be appreciated. Does anybody know the value of something like this? I read that Javed Miandad is one of the best cricket players ever.

Just like our Baseball, Cricket has signature model bats. They sell on average for the 15.00(store model) price range on up to the 185.00 range for the top of the line English Willow. The modern bats range in price up to 800.00. As far as I know it is virtually impossible to identify a "game used" cricket bat as there are not photo matching companies or the like. The player model shown here is represented by the Great Pakistani batsman-ca. 1976 to 1993(Last test) and would not have been used in a pro game. The signature is a facsimile as his real signature is quite different. Thanks for the post.....Here is a post of a pen signed mini bat,
