i have a k44, 36" from the 77-79 label period. how many of these did many order during this period?

Dear sir,
I am not really sure on the quantities but typically they are very big bats. I have two from that period and they both 36" or larger.
As always I would be interested in this bat if you are looking to part with it.

You should post this in the " ask about bat shipping records " section as you are more apt to get a reply there.

Hi Momen55 - great handle by the way...........

During the 77-79 labeling period, Manny had 42 separate orders ( approximately 265 bats ) of K44 bats that varied in length from 36" to 37" with weights in the 33 ounce to 37 ounce range. He ordered a lot of different finishes too - Hickory, Galen, Wax, Flame Treated, Natural and Walker finished bats.

Let me know the finish on your bat - the exact length and weight and we'll try to pin it down to a specific order ( or orders ) if you would like.

Thanks, Jim - jcaravello@nc.rr.com

jim,
i know it is 36 inches but have no clue as to finish; i would say natural. as for weight, i don't know either. all i know is that it is pretty heavy compared to today's standards. well, let's see what we come up with.

thanks mike. sorry for posting in too many forums.

[momen55]

it is weighing 32.25 oz. now knowing that they loose weight over the years, i have no clue as to it's original weight; 33, 34, 35 maybe? i thought it would have been heavier due to the length. so anyway, jim and or mike, since you will know more than i, let me know.

mike, you emailed that manny ordered 35 and 35.5 oz bats. could this be one of them or has it lost too much weight?
