Why a head cover on putter to prevent rust when it is made to rust?

To prevent dings and damage, not rust.

My father has a version of that putter. It’s a left-handed Anser from the mid 70’s.

Just means the grips are on 10 degrees crooked. So when he grips it in alignment with the grip alignment aide the face is then 10 degrees open.

I remember reading an article where it said his grips are put on so when he grips with his logo the clubs are that far open. maybe this has changed but I doubt the clubs themselves are bent 10 degrees open.
