Agreed the Musial image you posted is just like the Williams image, but trying to find matching uniforms in photos has not been successful yet - EDIT: Pinbreaker hooked it up, nice job on the photo match! I am thinking these were given after 1943 as the early images from the team Williams and Musial played on was the Chapel Hill Cloudbusters showing the piping style jerseys.Not saying either of those are fake by any means, but I do think it points a healthy finger towards them most likely not being game used. Although, even if they are game worn or event worn they are still nice pieces. The Williams at least comes with his last name stitched on the jersey. I know the Musial jersey number is also different than the MLB number, and the auction does state "The design is fittingly sedate for the times, a simple block lettered "Navy" arching across the chest and the unfamiliar number "14" on verso, evidence that Musial got no special treatment, even in the choice of his jersey number.". With that quote, it is interesting the Williams has his last name stitched on his jersey if that really was the case unless it was stitched on for his own personal collection afterwards.
