1973-1975 Tony Perez R43 Game Used Bat

[diamondicons]

I have a 1973-1975 period Tony Perez R43 game used bat. Bat came from the Reds 580 Gift Shop. The bat measures exactly 35 ¼”. Vince’s guide depicts bats measuring 35”, 35 ½” and 35 ¾”. Does anyone have shipping records to confirm if there were any 35 ¼” orders that may have been omitted from Vince’s book. Also, ¼” variance to shipping records is okay; would it have been more likely for a bat to be shorter or longer than ordered. Hunt has a similar bat in their current live auction that also measures 34 ¼”.
