LS Bat help...no 125..error?? BMH help

[tigerdale]

I just picked up this louisville slugger world series Magglio Ordonez bat...it has no 125 in the trademark area!!! Has anyone ever seen one like this before...I've compared it to one I have just like it & can see no differences other than that..is it just an oversite??

I have no idea, probably an oversight.

I appreciate the input....other than the 125 missing, it sure looks like the real deal to me....what is the process for putting on the trademark...are the numbers put on seperate from the oval?? The top of the oval on the bat is really just foil..like it never got burned in, the bottom is all burned in...could it had just been off a little (bat or branding) & that caused the 125 to not show up??

it looks like the top of the oval was filled in with silver paint pen. it is possible that the bat wasn't stamped properly.

it could have been, its really hard to tell....that is a possibility, the stamping didn't take & someone filled it in.....in one way, I wish it would be perfect for my collection,but in another way, its kind of cool to have something unique like this...I've never seen another like it.
