Can you tell us what is stamped on the knob of the bat?

Typically you will see a model number (ex 460B), a 3 digit lot number followed by a single digit for this bat labeling era.

Hi.

There is "BDO5" stamped on the knob.

Thank you,

Bill,
There has to be some smaller numbers on the knob below the ones you already mentioned. Let us know what they say and we can help more.
Thanks,
Jamie

Bill,

Jamie is correct. The labeling of your Downing bat is from the 1983-1986 Rawling Adirondack period. There should be a 3 digit lot code followed by either a 3,4,5, or 6 after it. These series of numbers should be located under or above the BD05.

I did however once own a 1985 Darrly Strawberry Rawlings Adirondack with only the model number 113A stamped on the knob.

The bat is from 1986. I sent you an email about this.
