The mallet head has 'Slazengers Ltd' and 'The Corbally' written in gold on the side and it is fitted with an octagonal scored and grooved hickory handle. Having an octagonal handle also helps a player 'feel' the alignment of the mallet in play. The handle is marked 'Selected Hickory, 3 LBS'.
The Army and Navy stores catalogue of 1939 - 40 advertised the mallets for 24 shillings each.
