Are "Tommy Armour" clubs branded with the full name or just the name
"Armour".
I have some photos (I wish I could post them here but I can't work out
how) of approx 5 year old clubs I am looking to buy that have the name
"Armour" branded on them; but the seller claims they are "TOMMY
Armour" clubs. The only photos of equipment I can find on the net
appear to show both Christian and Surname imprinted on the club. But
this is not definitive.
I am a hack golfer who does not want to get involved in a discussion
on the merits of different types of equipment. I'll make those
(probably wrong) judgements on my own.
I am merely curious as to whether these are genuine "Tommy Armour"
equipment or some type of imitation.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate both your input which has
really made it clear as mud :-)
I've got a chance to look at them tomorrow which should give me more
information. I'll let you know how I went.

It really does seem for a while there, in the 845s era, the clubs (at
least some model sets) had only "Armour" on them.
But so far, haven't seen anything but the 845s that had only the one
word.

Maybe the Tommy Armour brand came out with some set of clubs that only said
Armour. But I very seriously doubt that. Every Tommy Armour club that I have
seen had the script "Tommy Armour" on it.

The brand name is "Tommy Armour". The logo is rendered in cursive script
with both words. Caveat emptor.

Taint necessarily so...
I have a set up 845's titanium face.
They just say "Armour" on the bottom.
The shafts, which are Aldila graphite "G-Force 3.3", also only say
"Armour".
Even the grips, a half cord design, say only "Armour 845" on the very
end.
"Tommy Armour" is nowhere on the clubs.
Ah, found a pic, a different 845 series than mine, but same motif:

Don't know about the clubs that you have, but I own a Tommy Armour 845S
Oversize 2i (long story). It looks almost exactly like the picture in the
link, but it says Tommy Armour on the sole. I would be highly suspicious of
any irons that just say Armour, but I certainly cannot prove that they are
knock-offs.

Every Google I do for "Tommy Armour 845" shows same configuration, with
just "Armour".
Perhaps they changed it with the sets when they went "oversize" (which
they really aren't. Mine are the same size as the "oversize", just have
titanium face inserts...here's a pic of one of those:
http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=2254611
Bought my set at Sam's. Not knockoffs.
They had just discontinued the model.
Buddy bought a set at same time, one of his broke shaft at hosel, he
sent into Tommy Armour golf, they fixed it for free.
Each iron has matching serial # for set, btw.
