Description
Country//Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom  


This is an early heavy lofting iron with a thick sole by Wm Park.  The Park family from Musselburgh won seven Open Championships over three decades.  The W PARK name stamp is strong on the head.  The 3 1/4" blade has a slight curve shape.  The joint has a squared look indicative of older irons.  The thick hosel is 3 5/8" long with wider cut knicking.  The face depth is a mere 1 1/2". 
This club is 38" long with a loft of 40*.  The swing weight is a hefty F0.  The shaft is almost certainly a replacement, but notice that it is ringed hickory, a highly sought after shaft back in the day.  The russet period grip has been built up with period linen listing as can be seen at the shaft tip.   
This is a very choice piece of early golf history.  Buy with confidence.
