MIURA ON PROCLUBS.COM FAKE?

JrguidryIU · April 3, 2023

Hey so, I came across a number of Miura irons on ebay that are listed by proclubs.com. went to the site to investigate the images a bit further.. to my knowledge the stamping on the hosel should read "made in japan". Almost all of the irons listed by proclubs.com are stamped "forged". ((See links below...)) Does anyone have any knowledge on if these are fake or what the deal is? I'm seeing that on Miura's instagram page they have MC 501 sets posted and some read "made in japan" other read "forged". Any clarity would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

They look stamped to me, it's just on the side of the hosel that is turned down. Can barely see the outline when you zoom in. And I believe Pro's clubs is as legit as it comes, but I'm sure others will chime in who have more experience.

Can only vouch for proclubs in general, but they are about as legit as they come.

Miura has released sets/wedges that are both stamped with “made in Japan” and “forged”, I am not sure as to the reason why, I always thought it was maybe the forging house or a way to date them but can’t say for sure. But I can say for certain they have released both as I have gotten different clubs over the years directly from Miura and other authorized dealer that have been stamped both ways.

This is correct. Miura has stamped them both "Forged" and "Made in Japan". I've had both over the years on Miuras bought new from authorized dealers.
