I was very happy to see there was a marker I could purchase. I decided about the bronze as it looked the best. However upon receiving the item reflected a rough casting process as to the polishing the face, but when I threaded the brass rod everything was askew. The final process of drilling all the holes was the problem. All three holes were not plumb in a straight line to each other respectives component. Very dissapointed as I have to stick the rod in ground at an angle to get the marker to be plumb to ground had to tilt marker forward to get the front face of marker to be vertical. Then upon putting flag in the appropriate drilled holes the flag stick goes off at angle. I should have sent it back, but I figured this wasnt hand drilled so the next marker would probably be the same. Someone needs to contact the maker of the item and get it corrected. I expected better with so called made in USA. I have my doubts at this point where it was made. Flags Unlimited needs to look into Quality Control of the products its selling.
