Head is stamped AUCHTERLONIE GOLD MEDAL HAND MADE.If you research D & W AUCHTERLONIE you will find that Willie Auchterlonie won The Open in 1893 at a rain soaked Prestwick and partnered with his brother David shortly thereafter circa 1896 to produce golf clubs. This club measures just slightly under 35 inches long from top of the shaft to the heel of the clubhead, and is structurally very solid. This club is in very playable and displayable condition. A slight 1/8th inch forward facing bow in the shaft, away from you when addressing the golf ball, is considered to be intentional and often referred to as the ST. ANDREWS bow built specifically to help move the players grip more in line with the golf ball.This is your chance to own a once in a lifetime treasured piece of golf history that is in playable and displayable condition. This putter has a great solid feel and puts a beautiful roll on the ball along the intended target line. You will love it, so bid with confidence.Some of the photos are taken with the camera flash on and others with the camera flash off, it is simply beautiful. Shipping cost does not include insurance.
