Spotted last night, made an offer, collected locally today.

Dunlop Peter Thomson Mark 6 circa 1973.
Driver, 3-wood, 3-SW and matching putter. Cleaned up nicely and ferule gaps easily sorted.
Picture is after cleaning and before ferules sorted.

I already had the woods 3,4,5, but the new 3-wood is better condition.
Whole 14 clubs 1,3,4,5 and 3-SW and putter - lovely matched set. (and a spare 3-wood)
Putter grip is fine, but 11 new grips required.

Major error above.
The putter is Dunlop Peter Thomson Mark 6 as it is clearly stamped on the back. The Mark 6 was 1970.

The irons are the 1973 model that came after the 1970 Mark 6 version.
I already had the Mark 5 version.

As shown here...

Still very chuffed with them.

I have a set of the 1973 and they're really nice irons.
I was considering playing them today for a match but eventually opted for the George Nicoll Henry Cotton, Cotton Plus.

Don't know a lot about the brand but I think they'd be a 1970s or 80s model.
Lynx got a lot of love around that time, as did most of the overseas brands. I've not hit any but believe that they were a decent club.

I got these a while back and gave them to my mate last year as he was looking at getting into club customisation/refurbishment. He's finally pulled his finger out and got them done - and I'm very pleased with the result!

The irons are 4 to SW Wilson FG-51 from circa 91 I believe (my birth year). Tiny heads, very unforgiving, but not better feeling in golf than flushing that 4 iron.

"... a while back" being nearly 3 years :LOL:


Well done, though. Very classic look, in my opinion.
Full refurb would mean some red and black paint for the W/S Staff logo and lettering on the sole.

Bloody hell is that when it was!?

To be honest I'd almost forgotten I had them and then my mate messaged me out the blue asking me to remind me what I wanted doing with them 😂.

I've asked to just keep them black just on the numbers and fg51 stamp and leave the rest chrome. Nice clean look.

Putter arrived today that I will put with a very special Wison X31 set (link below) that has a gold and black theme with leather grips.
