Bill,
This putter was made by the firm of Robert Forgan and Sons of St.Andrews Scotland. From the pics and your description it looks like a MAXMO model made in the 1920's. Whilst "long-nose" in shape it was made 40 years after the true longnose era finished. It seems to need some refurbishment. If you have clear solid proof that it was used to win the Open, or used by an Open champion, then you're quids in and it's likely to be worth several thousand pounds. If no proof exists then I'd value it between 100 and 200 GBP ( once it has been restored ).
