Thank you, , great to hear, and great point about the seller , just found it odd that this one is missing the makers stamp,,

Not all of them were stamped R. Saito.
It would be very cost prohibitive to make a fake that looks like the real thing.

not my cup of tea but still very nice

gotta find a video of someone actually trying using one of these putters to shave with, not just beheading people LOL

Spot on. The cost of making a fake would be equal to making a real one.
