• First Flight The Standard 3-PW FORGED Iron Set
• These Classic, Vintage Irons are mid 70s or so and touted by Arnold Palmer at one time. Mr Palmer did endorse First Flight for a while after his contract with Wilson expired. As I understood it, he ended up buying the company and it became The Arnold Palmer Golf Company better known as Palmer Peerless and I think later on as just "AP" clubs
• More History: The Palmers were akin to Wilson Staff blades, largely soft with a hint of crisp added.

   

  This isn't popular with the Titleist fans, but the Tour Models were not well regarded until Tiger started playing Titleist blades. Most of the comments I'd seen talk of their less than ideal feel, etc. The 681s were indeed almost dead on copies of Palmer Standards, especially the Original Standards (or Standard Originals, if you prefer), but didn't match the feel of the Palmers.

   

  First Flight Standards and Palmer Standards are the same clubs, with different stampings. Professional Golf, aka Pro Group, produced both together, before dropping the First Flight name entirely, in favor of that of Palmer.

   

  For those interested in working with the clubs, the Palmers are pinned, and take parallel tip shafts. The Original Standards do, for sure, I'm not entirely positive about the 1978-1984 models of Standards. I'm nearly positive the 85 Standards are parallel, also.

• Faces do show wear, some excessive(7 & PW), good ferrels, great shafts, bands are spotty, grips are ready to play.

  Review: "Got a set of these for a HS graduation present from my Dad in 1981. Later I played a set of the "Palmer" branded Standards which had a very slight offset and more rounded toe but otherwise the same head. If you've ever wondered what the Titleist 681's were modeled after. Look no further. :-)"

This vintage set is a quality, top of the line product hidden in sheep's clothing, in playable condition, there are scratches, wear, but no dings, have very playable grips, great looking shafts, as well as minimal groove wear.

These irons will be a great set for many years. Can also be used as practice clubs to enhance proper swing technique.
