Is this Beryllium Copper?

[domdomdom]

Odyssey Dual Force 660.

Some listings of this putter in this finish say “becu”. Others say “brass” or “bronze”. Can’t find any official info from odyssey.
 

I was wanting to pick this putter up for cheap and sand/polish it a bit. But I don’t want to mess with it if it’s BeCu for safety reasons.

 

I thought BeCu was more brown than this, but I’m no expert.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Probably manganese bronze like many older Pings.

Definitely not BeCu.

If you are looking to clean something like this up, try soaking it in regular cola overnight, that normally does a pretty good job on its own

I think it’s some sort of cast stainless.  I had one of these back in the day.

Nope. I think it has some kind of finish on it IIRC but it is 100% not solid BeCu.

I think it's a finish too, they did a line of bronze putters as well as a ladies line in a similar finish.

 

I will check the brochure to see if it has any info.

 Thanks for the replies everyone! Here’s another finish of the same putter. I assume this isn’t BeCu either?
 

I can’t believe they made so many finishes in left handed back then! Or maybe it’s the same finish and it just aged differently 🤔
