I'm not BMH nor do I have his shipping records, but I spoke with Ronnie about 2 years ago and he told me that he did use the Gwynn finish but I can't tell you what years it was.

Hmm, according to what I'm looking at record wise, he never ordered the Gwynn finish. It was either clear, Hickory, FT, None or Walker.

[momen55]

ok. which finish is walker? i don't have my book. did he order this model though? retail maybe?

[momen55]

the finish is brown with gold labels with natural handle. is that hickory?

[BMH]

Walker is a hickory colored barrel and a wine colored handle.

I'm going to have to erase that last one or at least expand on it some. I had a conversation with some of our older employees and it seems a half dip hickory bat was called a Walker Finish. Some time in the past twenty or so years we added the red handle to the Walker. The half dip Hickory became the "Doug" finish because of Doug Mientkiewicz.

so did ron order this model and if yes when and how many? if not, could it be retail? thank you.

[momen55]

the bat i found is 34/32.5, cupped, and as stated brown dipped with natural handle. thank you.
