After talking with Wes and showing him pic's, what makes my J93 unique is that it's Natural finish. Wes say's your records do not indicate he ordered any in that time frame.

Unfortunately, your question falls in a period where there could be holes in the records, as that is the period when H & B switched their records from hand-written bat cards to computer. As a result, for most players of the era, there is a gap (sometimes significant) during the transition period.

In Reggie Jackson's case, the last documented hand-written order is dated
4/4/1980, while the first computer order is dated 4/23/1982. So, what orders came from Reggie during that roughly 24-month period? There is nothing from H & B that indicates that any documented records from that period exist. Given that the period includes two years of your bat's labeling (4 1/2 inch "New Large Label"), anything is possible.

No documented orders during that label period match the specifications of your bat, even though Model J93 was a favorite of Reggie Jackson during much of his career, particularly between March 1971 and March, 1993. The majority of those orders specify Hickory Finish..
