Brass Putter Markings

[snow bird]

I have recently bought a  few old brass putters and noticed that there are markings on the soles that are stamped in like M5C  on an Achusnet Bullseye and B2 on an "Old Master"  brass putter.  I was hoping someone here might know what that means?

Thank You Vinsk.  That makes sense M5C:

M=medium lie

c= corded grip

5= 35 inch 

I printed it out as I am starting a new hobby refurbishing brass putters. I have 10 Achusnet Bullseyes which I am working on.

Are you then selling them?

Do you have one with two faces, a righty/lefty one?

Yes I do have some R/L putters and yes I will be selling them.  They won't be ready for about a week or two. I guy has been saving them for me and he just shipped them today.  I will let you know when they are ready. Just curious do want the original grip or a new grip. I haven't seen the clubs yet but I think some of grips   might be worth refurbishing. I can replace them with the grip of your choice also. Just something to think about. Let me know what you think. This batch is all Acushnet Bullseyes.

Great. I don't know if I care much about the grip - I'm looking for a two-sided putter so I can put it in my lefty set.

LMK when they're available.
