Miura Miura Wedge - Bargain Buy?

[JBecks]

Greetings all, 

 

I was checking out the clubs at the local golf shop when I stumbled upon the used wedge section. Looking for a deal on a anything, I stumbled upon a black Miura 56 degree, something I have actually never seen in person. It looked to be in good condition, minus some rust on the face and sole. I was not sure if this was suppose to be there due to my lack of Miura knowledge, but was not bothered by it as raw wedges are pretty common. Looking at the price tag, I was not shocked at first seeing $50 dollars for a used wedge, and I finished shopping and headed home. Curious, I was looking online at MIura wedges and saw the retail price and couldnt belive my eyes. I knew they were expensive, but >$300 was wild to me! After seeing this, I went back to the golf shop to make the purchase. After getting home and admiring the work of art I had in front of me, I decided to do some research on it. Unfortunately, it does not look like a currrent wedge offering and past models are hard to find any information on. If someone can help provide any history on the club, that would be appreciated. Grated, its real...

Congrats on the pickup. Do some research on Miura the company and you will see why it's so expensive. They are the premier Japanese forging company and their attention to detail and meticulous process is why they are regarded so highly. Many have stated that Tiger's old clubs were actually Miura forged with a different name stamped on them, but that is all speculation and unconfirmed.

Current or not that is a great pick up.

Sweet stick, mate. It is a steal for sure.

The face and grooves still look rather fresh. 

I don't think the model matters that much, as long as it is a genuine Miura. 

Congrats, mate.

Looks like been refinished in the black

and looks pretty mint. Would say you could easily double your money if selling

Thank you all for the feedback! 

 

Does anyone know any information on this model or where I would be able to find information? or how I can check authenticity? 

 

Since I live in Wisconsin, I wont be able to hit it for a while to see how it compares to the Callaway MD4 56 degree I have been gaming.
