Ping Anser "Karsten Co" flat sole MRH putter. This is a 2nd generation Anser made from the same mold as the original Scottsdale model and before the mold was changed to the "Dalehead" version. The patina is so dark and rich you can actually feel it to the touch as if it were a light grade sandpaper. There is very little wear or bag chatter on the putter head- you would have a hard time finding an unrestored K-Co putter head in better condition!! The most wear shows on the back edge. The face has a tiny mark about 3/4" from the toe and a white-ish spec at the toe that would take some patina off if removed. Please review all photos for condition- sorry for the lack of lighting but the lights take away the dark patina. There is one picture that I used a flash on to pick up more details.The shaft is original and the start of some very minor pitting. The first-step measures 9 1/8" long, each step after is 3 1/4" apart. The shaft band is in place with some lifting and wear.The Informer grip has significant wear. For play, the grip would need to be replaced. For collecting, my thoughts are that it should stay to hold value.I bought this putter from another collector and he didn't know anything in terms of its individual history. The length of this putter is 36.50" long measured straight down the shaft to the sole. This length was not a standard length for the Ansers. I doubt there has been an extension added at any time due to the positioning of the shaft band to grip (if the shaft had been shorter the shaft band would be at or under the grip end and that doesn't make sense). The Informer grips on the K-Co putters is rarely seen, so my speculation is that this was a special order putter, for whatever that's worth.This is a high-quality collector quality Karsten Co Anser. Great for any collection! Let me know if you have any questions. Free insured shipping through USPS Prioity mail to US only.
