I’d be the first to say, IDK.
The keeper handed it to me.
I was instantly impressed with how are the rod handled, and he and I begin to talk about it.
I looked right at the labels.
Edited to add:
I may be misremembering the brand label, but not the country of manufacture.
I’ll make an effort tomorrow to locate pictures of the outfit.
It was important to the estate to be using locally produced equipment.
I have no idea of the age, or collectibility, or provenance of the rod.
I can fish any rod and be happy. It just has to feel right in my hand and the fly has to do what I want it to do.
That’s why rod designers have jobs. A rod for every hand that pleases the owner.
I am definitely more in the “it has to work“ category.
