Miura Tournament Blades - No Stamp

[puremiura]

Hi all! Been reviewing a lot of the forums here trying to get an answer on this but I don’t have a definitive yes, no or explanation.

 

I’m wanting to buy a some Miura Tournament Blades and I noticed that there’s no stamp on there after the ‘a’ in Miura. I see a lot of people mention the Circle K and the Circle SL, for various reasons but nobody mentioning a blank Miura with no trademark.

 

Can someone please provide some insight into this before I make a decision on these? Thanks! I’m posting two links. One to USGA and one to a similar version of what I’m looking at.

 

Here’s USGA site.

Heres PGA value guide with similar club and no marking:

Sounds like one has conforming grooves or SL for score lines and the other is non-conforming.

The blank version could likely predate the conforming grooves era.

Miura Tournament Blades...

 

With NOTHING after the 'a' in Miura, identifies as a set predating the groove change in 2009. Your grooves "as is" are not approved for sanctioned events.

Only the 3iron and maybe the 4iron are able to be played since the groove rule applicability is on clubs with loft greater than 24 degrees.

.... This too. It's 25°. But @BombinJimis correct.
