Tim Difficult without seeing them. The clubs are short, the head is very light (are you sure about this?) and the shaft is ultralite. I assume you've weighed the cut length? The outcome is a very very low swing weight.
One suggestion: I suspect that the lies are weak because these irons should be made long. I seem to recall that the standard length for a Toski 5 iron is 38.5" You might like to check this out. It may explain why the swingweight is low at the length you are measuring. If everything is correct I'd tell him that he's bought a dud and ask him if he still wants it made up. If the answer is yes go ahead with a clear conscience.
