Many pro-quality, King O'Shea jerseys had handwritten sizes in the blank space on the tag.

You are very correct. I have also heard that a lot of jerseys in this time era sizes 48 and 50, were blank. If the size was ever written in, it faded. It shows lots of wash wear. I am 6'1" 205 lbs and this jersey floats on me. It is very long and even with the cut off sleeves, it goes past my elbows. I can only imagine how big this would have looked if they didn't cut the sleeves. Very interesting jersey!

The style of tag that your jersey has with no size is the odd one since most mid 60's to very early 70's Bears jerseys I've personally seen seem to have the size stitched...

I'm in now way saying that your jersey is anything less than legit but it's my observation of a few dozen that I've seen.

Yes, both the seller (me) and the owner of the jersey, (my great friend of almost 40 years) would have loved to see more spirited bidding. LOL. Great to see the jersey found a happy home!
