Extensive usage wear is evident throughout including substantial grain swelling (due to repeated contact), visible ball marks, and a severe handle crack. Vault marked with "M102" model number on either end signifying return to Louisville Slugger to be used as a template in future orders (the "M" denoting that the player whom sent it back was someone other than Dugan).

Over (14) seasons as a Major League player Dugan's prowess in the field earned accolades as one of the premier defensive third baseman of the era.

An exceedingly rare game bat and one of only a handful of known examples. Includes LOAs from Hunt Auctions and PSA/DNA (graded "GU 6"): EXEstimated Price Range: ($7,500-$10,000)
