Thank you, very kind of you to say!  Don't realize what you have until it's gone.  I think byron helped us all realize how lucky we all were now to have worked with, or got to know him for some of you.  Appreciate those pieces of art he made.  And please, don't sell them on ebay for 3x what you paid for it.  That's just not right, and not what byron was about or what he would of wanted imo.

Try to sell on ebay... no one is buying them, same ones have been on there for 7 to 8 months now.

Sorry to hear about this … Putter is one of a kind and the irons are rare … Do you have the serial number for the irons? .. File a police report and keep an eye out because both aren’t common place and should be easier to spot …

Absolutely.  Have all the serial numbers for my irons and just waiting to hear from the police/pawn shop/ebay/etc.

Messaging back and forth with LaMont about trying to duplicate this putter.  LaMont had a ton of respect and admiration for byron.  Would be cool to make this putter and have some kind of tribute stamp to honor byron on it.

Wow those are nice.

[Dat1guy]

Hello everyone, my name is John. Some of you may have ran into me in other apps, as I'm newer to wrx but enjoying the community. Figured I'd share a guy who has been blowing me away with the saves he's been pulling off on these Byrons. I can def share some before and after pics but figured I'd start with the spicy pics. I will add his info here. Message me for his number.

Beauties, John.  And welcome.  Do the folks at East Coast Customs do more complex stuff, like new hosels??  Byron used to change out plumber’s necks to pipe or rincon, and it’d be nice to know of others who can do that work up to his standard.  
 

Very nice 029, btw.  Don’t see many of those with a flange line.  

[Dat1guy]

Yes sir! Ray is the man! In fact that 007 was a plumbers neck and so was the 029. Here are some before pictures.. I think Byron would approve!

[Dat1guy]

Also if I can get a prayer from everyone haha… a Byron is lost in the mail.. I miss it so.. if anyone has any pull at usps hahahaha 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤞🏼
apparently analouge reef was one of his favorite surf spots.. maybe his channel island.. anyone know anything on this club? Hopefully it gets found

Also if you have any info on the 10mm stamp he did under the weight? Steve wasn’t sure and nor are we.

Was wondering about that myself.  This is now the second time I have seen that 10mm stamp (the other one, btw, is on eBay right now).  Surprised Steve Z had no info on that....  Maybe the width of the top line?  That would be a pretty thick top line and/or face wall......

 

Sorry to hear about your Channel Islands.  Good luck with tracking that down.....

[fharbist]

Anybody got one of these old X-Proto covers in new condition?  Any color….

 

 

[Cody61122]

Anyone of you guys happen to have a spare Byron grip you'd let go of? Figured this would be the group to ask!

The ever elusive DH11.. 

These rare birds deserved a lot more attention than they ever received.. As good as they get in my opinion…. Now Back into captivity 😂

I love your DH11!  I could game that one.

Thank you.

 

I have its twin brother (a Stainless DH89) with the same face mill & the 11 sounds/feels much better. Hard to explain really, it's almost like the firmness of a carbon yet softer/quieter...

Lack of cavity reduces vibration thus a softer sound.

Makes sense… Amazing how such a subtle change can make such a difference.. 

[fharbist]

Here is another one of those 029s with the mysterious “10mm” stamp on it.  If anyone has the history of, or explanation for this, would love to know.  
 

This one is pretty rare as far as 029s go - flange line, X stamping and carbon steel.  Most I’ve seen are sight dots and SS.  Couldn’t resist those features and the 10mm conundrum when I picked it up.  Also beached like most other 029s.
 

Expertly refurbed by Lamont (thank you!!) with a new long pipe neck, face milling and black ox finish.  I am going to try and enjoy this one quickly before Mr. Baker comes after it 😊😜

Maybe the 10mm is something related to the offset.

Or the width of the topline? 

[Scotty1140]

Interesting. Haven’t seen the 10mm stamping before. 10mm is about 4/10 of an inch so that would be thicker than the top line and much more than the shaft offset. 
 

Might just be a personalized stamping of the original owner of the putter? 

[daegyu]

This thread got me feeling nostalgic. Pulled the DH89 out of my closet and took a trip down memory lane. Been gaming my 009 for a few years so I kinda lost track of my BM for a while. Going to bag this for my upcoming golf trip for old time's sake. Thanks Mr Morgan, this is quite a beauty you built.

Maybe, but I have seen at least two of these putters, so did the original owner buy two identical??

 

Lamont had an interesting guess - that this is a twist on the gun lovers' stamping of "357 magnum" (when the headweight is 357g) or "44 mag" like some custom Bettinardis.  I guess the putter is heavier than 357g, and a 10mm round is bigger than a .357, so maybe that fits somehow.......???

 

The other guess is that 10mm is "10 models made" and that this is a one of 10 situation.  But then why not the "x of 10" stamping that we usually see??

 

Still no clear answer IMO...
