I play at a club that exists almost a century. There is a closet with old stuff, blades, skeletons etc.
I noticed an old Korbel and asked if I could take it home to put some new rubbers on it.
As I was searching for this beaten up Korbel, I found something else.
I hope if somebody can say something if this is a real Viscaria blade or not.

It is not real! Just sent it to me right away, so you do not need to worry about the blade. 😉 Joke a side... it looks legit and really nice “barn” find. 👌

That world-leading quality blades shake racket seems sus

That is what the front of an old Viscaria said even down to the misspelling "Perfomance" for performance.

- World-Leading Quality Blades
- Shake Racket

And the rest of what it says on the front of the blade are what an old Viscaria used to say. The new ones don't say "Shake Racket" any more. The new ones, have corrected the spelling of Performance instead of "Perfomance". But that spelling error was there for years and years.

Anyone know what year Butterfly corrected the spelling from Perfomance to Performance?

I still would like to see better photos of the blade face; both front and back. I would like the photos to be good enough for me to see the quality of the wood grain. I would also like to see a better view of the edges of the blade to see the plies.
