Early Acushnet 'high toe' Bullseye DFM6S putter

Golfengineering ID: ucput5420
Vintage: ~ 1959
Gender-Dexterity: men's right handed
Lifecycle: Good
Shaft type: Overhosel stepped steel

Hard to find model from about 1959. Soft brass makes for easy dinging on these early models. Besides the big bullseye, note the positioning of the Acushnet logo and registration mark under the 'Eye'. Shaft with some tarnish over most of length - steel finish (fluted, overhosel) still has good look - almost satin in appearance. The head designation is for an "S" standard leather grip. However, this putter has an old Golf Pride Informer rubber pistol grip in excellent condition with the plastic grip collar in place (so the shaft had to be removed to replace the grip). My guess is this was replaced many years ago possibly soon after it was purchased.
