Callaway Big Bertha War Bird 12° Driver Golf Club Head

The item is identified as a Callaway Big Bertha War Bird 12-degree driver golf club head. It features a classic, somewhat rounded 'wood' or 'metal wood' head shape, common for drivers from its era. The primary material appears to be a brushed or satin-finish metal alloy, likely titanium or stainless steel, which gives it a muted, non-reflective gray appearance. The face of the club, not fully visible, would be where the ball makes contact. The top surface, or crown, bears the prominent "Callaway" script logo, with "DRIVER" and "12°" (indicating the loft angle) printed below it in a sans-serif font. Below these, the model name "BIG BERTHA WAR BIRD" is clearly visible. To the left of the model name, there's a distinctive oval Callaway 'Chevron' logo. Near the toe, the text "USA" is printed, indicating its country of manufacture. There's also a small, circular, black-filled recess, possibly a weight port or cosmetic detail. The club head shows signs of typical use, including scuffs and scratches on the crown and potentially the sole (not visible), consistent with a used golf club. These marks are superficial and do not appear to impact structural integrity. The overall condition suggests regular play but no severe damage, indicating good craftsmanship for a durable sporting good. This specific model, the Big Bertha War Bird, was popular in the mid-to-late 1990s, placing its estimated age in that period. Its design reflects the evolution of driver technology towards larger, more forgiving club heads.
