This is a 1986 Dale Murphy Atlanta Braves Game Used Road Jersey. This jersey dates to the 1986 season based on the style used for the Wilson manufacturer's tag (1979-86 per the MEARS Tagging database), and the year box tag, 86, present along the front outside tail.

The jersey is size 44, which is consistent with the following examples:

1982 Murphy Wilson Road size 44 Lelands 12/02

1986 Murphy Wilson Road size 44 Wolfers 2/93

Additionally, Wilson was verified as the correct supplier for Braves jerseys from 1974-1993, per the MEARS database.

When measuring the jersey, the chest measurement is 23" and the torso is 34", both acceptable for a size 44 jersey.

The jersey was issued in 1986 as evidenced by the strip tag found on the bottom outer tail. Examples of the Wilson tag and the style/placement of the '86 (1986) year tag can be found when examining:

1986 Wilson Twins

1986 Wilson Braves Bat Boy

Regarding the NOB font, upon review, it appeared original, no name change, and consistent with the following examples:

1986 Aaron Road coaches shirt

1986 Stargell Road shirt

Both the front and reverse numerals appears original with no signs of restoration.

Jersey exhibits light to moderate wear.

This jersey grades out at the MEARS A10 grade with ten points for the base grade and no point deductions.
