Authentic Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Walter Hagen Banned Concave SW Player

This item is an antique vintage wooden shaft right handed 35" iron. Patented by Edwin McClain in 1929 and made L A Young & Co and marked with Walter Hagen's signature on the sole. This is the famous Hagen concave wedge that was banned by the USGA in the early 1930's. Super wide cambered sole with a substantially concave face. This sand wedge is very heavy (swingweight F 5) and has around 56* loft. The plated head is in good vintage condition. Not all rusted. It does have the expected play nicks and dings, particularly on the leading edge. It has some salt and pepper marks in the chrome and there are some vice marks on the hosel. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old hickory. The shaft has a minor bend (slightly more upright lie), I see no cracks and it is tight at the hosel (it has already been re-set for play). The grip is a newer long leather wrap that still has some tackiness to it and is ready to play. A highly sought after and scarce hickory play club.  Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC to more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of $10 I receive $8.50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries is also calculated and will be much higher. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal. NC residents must add 7.5% sales tax.
