Iinfo Forgan made the stroke-saver in three forms.
Firstly in the 1920s he produced a standard hickory shafted model. Later he produced it as a steel-shafted mode, the shaft being covered with a pyralin sheath. There was also a third form, this one, the rarest of the three where a hickory shaft is coverered with pyralin. I don’t know what the marketing reason behind it was: perhaps weatherproofing. The shaft begins with a square cross-section at the top tapering to the more usual circular cross-section below the original leather grip. The club was to be used for chipping, the same purpose as a jigger but, at the same length and with the same upright lie, played like a putter. It has a boat-shaped head with dot-punched face. The reverse is stamped with the forgan flagstick mark and Forgan St Andrews.
Made in scotland; it has a very heavy flange, stamped; p a vaile (in signature) and stroke-saver.
