Great adding to the thread. This has turned from a small inquiry into a massive thread.
My new club has arrived. Heavy for the size. The cotton decoration needed to be tidied up, very please with it.
On close inspection with a 10x loop the cotton binding originally filled the space between the handle binding with feathers and the other binding. There is the remains of a mastic that shows the imprint of the binding. This would cover a natural fissure in the wood, nothing to do with binding a broken club. The cotton is very thin and light weight.
