The number "34" is stamped into the knob. Model 40 B.R with George "Babe" Ruth's facsimile signature on the Barrel. Somebody forged Ruth's signature on the barrel, but they didn't just stop with the forgery. They personalized it to an actor, added a lengthily inscription and even made reference to the movie "Pride of the Yankees." What balls! The creativity of the forger never ceases to amaze. The bat has no cracks but does have a few minor dings/scars in the surface. Shows moderate wear.
