Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!
My wife informed me she would like to buy a Christmas present for me but she unsure it is an original Watling. I know Watling did some odd things but what are your thoughts on originality and value?

Thank you,
David

It looks like the wood has been completely stripped.

Other than that, it does not look like a fake.

Thanks Dave!
I would assume that the Club handle would indicate it is a later model? Does the wood being stripped hurt the value much?

Thanks again,
David
