Yonex R7

Yonex R7 with original Yonex racquet bag from early 1980s
The previous owner of this stick must have been a Navratilova fan because not only is this the racquet that she started her career with but the racquet bag is a special edition to commemorate her Grand Slam achievement in 1983 -4.  She won the Australian, Wimbledon and US in 83' and picked up the French in 84'.  Not a bad year's work!  Unfortunately, I cannot offer comments on the playabilit of this racket because the string tension is such that it feels like a trampolene.  But a nice piece of tennis history nonetheless.
