The face of the blade with 28 original pen signatures - West Indies & England. The rear of the bat with signatures from the 'Gentlemen', 'Players', Somerset and Gloucestershire cricket teams.

The Gentlemen and Players are a bit aloof and we can not find any mention of them. We have however been able to spot Colin Cowdrey, Gamini Goonesena & Colin Stansfield Smith for the Gentlemen and Dennis Compton for the Players.
The last image is a copy of and old advert from a 1930's cricket magazine.
