Nike forged blades question

[RD592]

I just picked up a set of original Nike forged blades on eBay. I was looking them over and found that they all have the letter B stamped on the hosel where you would usually find a serial number. Anyone know what this means? Thanks for any help

Below is an answer from Bing using ChatGPT (not sure how true it is) 

 

Hello, this is Bing. I'm happy to chat with you. 😊

 

I did some research on your question and found some possible answers. According to [GlobalGolf](^1^), the Nike Forged Blades iron set is Nike's first ever iron and features a muscle back blade that is intended for the better ball-striking golfer¹. The letter B stamped on the hosel might indicate that the clubs are **blemished** or **blem** models, which means they have some minor cosmetic defects that do not affect the performance or quality of the clubs². Some golfers prefer blem models because they are usually cheaper than the regular ones².

 

I hope this helps you understand your new set of clubs better. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'm always here to chat. 😊

I may be mis remembering but doesn't the b on Nikes indicate tour issue.

My guess is ''B'' is a head weight classification.

The guy who sold them is a fraud in Japan he stamps the clubs with your serials but the heads are standard off the rack Nike blades, the Miura ones are totally different and are not the same as the off the rack sets, he’s duped you

Please advise who this might be. 

 

Thank you.

The tour issue blades look completely different than retail. The muscle back goes much higher
