Swiss diamond-back mashie
Maker:
W Freemantle
, Hyères/Dieppe/St Moritz Date: 1909
A sturdy and very eye-catching mashie with an enclosed dot-diamond face stamped "W Freemantle" on the reverse of the diamond-backed head (a design aiming to maximise the weight behind the sweetspot). Freemantle seems to have spent his entire professional career in France and Switzerland, this club coming from his time at St Moritz Engadine. It is also stamped "Warranted Hand Forged" in oval form.
The good straight hickory shaft is topped with a replacement suede grip.
Price $185.00 Reference: MA306
