Hate to have to part with one of my "Crown Jewels" but have debts to pay and, well, "ya gotta do what ya gotta do..."

Asking $8500 including overnight shipping and yes, will entertain any offers. I will also offer a full money back guarantee if you submit this bat for grading or authenticating and it comes back negative. I'm positive it won't. I'm a collector going back 30+ years (old school) and stand behind everything I sell or trade 100%.

Also posting a few other nice items in a separate post.

Per Malta book label pics I'm guessing the bat is circa 1967 based on the player charts in the book but certainly from the 1965-69 era by my reading. Here are some specifics:

Length: A little under 36" but more than 35" - 35 5/8" by my hand.
Weight: 34.6 oz
Model: S2
Brand Label: C-18

Bat is beautifully signed in black on the sweet spot. It appears to have been cracked on the handle and expertly repaired (see last picture below).
