Condition Report:
Good condition overall, with wear consistent with age and use. As partially visible, some cracks, holes/crevices inherent to the wood in the head. An old split to the grip of the club with an area of the grip lifting as a result. Minor nicks, chips, scratches, short hairline cracks, and abrasions. Small indentation to the base of the club and an old loss; possibly a worn-through suspension hole. Four "tally" marks incised at the top of the shaft and an indecipherable marking slightly further down. A few traces of an old label to the shaft. Fine aged patina.
