Goals scored with this stick did not add to the tally of 801 as Gordie used this stick during his in the World Hockey Association. Factory stamped "HOWE" on both sides of the shaft with "9" above. The heavy black "bulldog" knob is crossed in a style unique to Howe gamers and the blade has its original tape as well. An added note in ink reads "Winnipeg - 5 - 22 - 78" as this one was used in the last game of the Avco Cup Finals! In great condition with no cracking or damage.
