How can you tell how much a shaft has been tipped?

I sold a whiteboard, ion plated, 63 x5ct on ebay. It didn't look like it had been tipped. it was a clean pull and everything looked good. I got an email from the guy today saying that it had been tipped an inch and it was to stiff for him. So, my question is this: Is there a way to tell how much a shaft has been tipped? Maybe by measuring from the tip to the writing? I don't know. He's sending me the shaft back and I am refunding him so it will most likely go back to ebay. Just thought I'd ask.

FWIW it was pulled from an X460 optifit head that had been turned into a regular head (hosel adaptor and epoxy). Thanks!

2 ways.

Measure the tip and see how much of the original 3" is parallel or measure tip to where the logo begins...I believe that distance should be 23"

What part of where the logo begins? The lettering of the ovals that surround the lettering?
