The mark is a straight line W PARK, MAKER, MUSSELBURGH is mostly visible. MAKER is weak. <br><br>The blade measures 3 1/4" long along the face to toe. The hosel measures 2 1/2" from the top of the blade to the top of the hosel. The loft is 17*. The back of the head has weighting similar to the diamond back style. In this case the weight crests nearer the sole, just above the PARK name stamp. <br><br>The club is 39" long. The original shaft has a nice WM PARK name stamp below the grip. The shaft is straight with nice 'feathers' up the entire top side. The grip is a very old, russet looking wrap, well worn throughout. The swing weight comes in at D1. The head has a slight wiggle to the shaft. <br><br></font>This is a classic piece of early golf history. Buy with confidence.</font> <br><br>I ship ONLY within the USA. <br></font></font>
