An Exquisite Piece of Baseball History

Step into the rich tapestry of baseball history with this remarkable 1963 Chunichi Dragons game-worn uniform. This exquisite piece, steeped in the legacy of Japanese baseball, is a testament to the enduring allure of the sport. The uniform, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, features the iconic “CHUNICHI” emblazoned across the chest, a symbol of pride and tradition.

Authenticity and Craftsmanship

Inside the rear collar of this flannel jersey lies the distinguished Tamazawa manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity. The right button path is adorned with two box tags, reading “6” and “1964,” signifying its historical significance. The player number “6” is prominently displayed below the chest and on the back, all rendered in blue on white tackle twill, a classic design that captures the essence of the era.

  • Manufacturer: Tamazawa
  • Year: 1963
  • Team: Chunichi Dragons
  • Player Number: 6

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to the allure of this uniform is the signature of Marshall, who graced the back of the jersey with the inscription “1963 Game Uniform.” This signature, in our expert opinion, rates a strong 8, reflecting its clarity and significance. The accompanying pair of pants, with nearly identical tagging inside the waistband, also bears Marshall’s signature with the year “1963,” and similarly rates an 8. Despite minor holes present throughout the uniform, it displays beautifully, capturing the spirit of the game.

Provenance and Accompaniment

This uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from Marshall and an Additional Letter of Authenticity (ALOA) from JSA, further cementing its status as a genuine artifact of baseball history. Such provenance enhances its value and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
