He didn't like this Dunlop version, and then yes Dunlop painted his Head rackets it seems, and he went back to these Prestiges paintjobbed, as you say.

I've got one of his Dunlop's, I will bump the thread for you right now, so you can see the photos

Great thread OP.

Just thought add my 2p. I have it on pretty good authority that Dunlop didn't paint Safin's prestige's like the 200g. They thought he was still using the (identical) copies they had made for him. One of which I have and it is indeed like a PT10. Safin himself gave his current batch of prestige's to RPNY and asked them to do the pj. The first Dunlop heard of it was when they saw him play next!
