Faithful lumber was used by Vladimir Petrov of the Soviet Union during the game of games. The "September to Remember" saw Petrov score three goals and total of seven points in all. The Baikal stick shows great use, slightly curved blade, which is wrapped with white tape (partially falling off). No visible cracks, although the blade end is somewhat splintered. Top of handle is taped in black. "Petrow" printed on back of handle.
