Is this HOF'er George Kelly "game used" bat legit? Mears reliable?

Any game used bat "experts" here? This one is purported to be a George Kelly gamer, but I wanted to check with some of the knowledgeable collectors here and see if the bat is in fact, what it is purported to be. Comes with some paperwork from "Mears", but I don't know their reputation nor do I know of their ability or lack thereof for authenticating game used bats. Why does it say type of bat used by George Kelly if it was a Kelly gamer? Would that be something that someone added later?

I picked it up a couple years ago to use as eventual trade bait for neat autographs one day, but would like to know if it is what it is supposed to be before I begin to shop it around.

I would go over to the GUU forum and ask. Plenty of folks who know all there is to know about game used items there.

MEARS is very reputable when it comes to game used memorabilia
