Browsing ebay and came across the following:

http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_2406wt_1139

Can anyone provide any further info about these heads? Likely to be genuine?

ive been seeing that for weeks. i am not aware of that kind of iron head and i know most of the irons pre type x and these certainly do not fall in that
period. i cant say for sure that they are genuine nor fake. ask TSGER or Gocchin. only think indicating that they are epons are the engraving on the hosel.

The design on the cavity seems similar to the PRGR TR-500s. Curious to know what the text on the cavity reads...
Epon AF-151 10.5*/ Crazy Black 46
Royal Collection TRC Utility 20*/ Crazy Black Utility
Shinagawa Raw Cavity Backs 4-PW/ Nippon NS Pro 999GH
Yururi Raw Gekku 53* & 57*/ Nippon NS Pro 999GH
Gold's Factory Tour Hearts Proto/ Nippon NS Pro Heavy Putter Shaft

I just sent Endo Japan an inquiry on these irons, Should have a response in a day or two.

My best guess so far is that they are not actual prototypes by Epon. The font for the word EPON is new style yet the model name is 200.

Also the finish, face shape, top line curve, and bead blast are nothing like what Epon/Endo usually produces.
