Hi all - new here.

Was after some info about these Prosimmon BeCu irons. Can’t find anything online about them at all. Does anyone here know of them?

Not much info for "ProSimmon drk 111" clubs other than they were probably made between late 70's - 80's
Based on them having the perimeter weighted style and copper beryllium materials  which were used during that time frame. 
Web search indicates they were designed especially for play on Australian course conditions.
Also, items were most likely sold at Wally World and currently on eBay.

The company still has a website - https://www.prosimmongolf.com.au/

Cool thanks for that. Nice detective work!

Would they have any value at all? Someone has offered $80 for them but have been told they may be worth a little more??

And can anyone tell me about this putter??

Check eBay for prices if there's any listing.
I don't now if there's any websites which offer guides or values of vintage equipment.
Maybe Scott may offer up some thoughts?  - @boogielicious

Norman Guy Von Nida OAM (14 February 1914 – 20 May 2007) was an Australian professional golfer.

Von Nida was born in Strathfield and grew up in Brisbane. He turned professional in 1933, after attracting attention by winning the 1932 Queensland Amateur aged just 18.[1] He became one of Australia's finest professional golfers, and the first Australian to win regularly on the British tour, although World War II certainly deprived him of competition during what might have been his peak years. In 1946 he travelled to Britain for the first time and finished second on the Order of Merit; in 1947, he returned and won seven tournaments and topped the Order of Merit.[2] He was renowned for his short temper – at a tournament in 1948 he became involved in an argument with future U.S. Ryder Cup player Henry Ransom that resulted in the local sheriff having to pull them apart, and he was also known to hurl his putter into the undergrowth after missing putts, on occasions breaking or even losing them mid-round.

Does that club 'the Von Nida' have a Hickory Shaft?
IMO, it resembles clubs referred to as "Cleek" I believe?

Thanks for the replies mate. 
 

That’s what I’m struggling with at the moment. I can’t find these clubs anywhere else on the net. Prosimmon have lots of the DRK111 irons but can’t find the BeCu version anywhere. Lots of Ping BeCu irons on eBay but not much else and definitely no Prosimmon.

Not sure about the shaft of the putter - little bit damaged near the head but can’t tell whether the underneath is hickory or weathered steel. There are some similar putters on eBay but not the same...
