Description
Wrapped in the correct Orvis brown, this rod was restored at the Orvis factory to as new condition. Grip is reverse wells with sliding band over an attractive mortised walnut spacer with cork fill, more indicative of modern production. Serial number is 17xxx (circa 1955). Rod is marked on shaft "Orvis - Impregnated/ Battenkill/ 8' 4 3/8 oz./ H.C.F (7)" Serial number appears below the butt ferrule, and above the ferrules on both tips. Writing is somewhat faint but fully legible unaided, indicating Orvis' attempt to preserve the original markings. Although marked for a 7 weight, Orvis rods generally handle a full line size lighter than designated. Cloth bag and modern brown anodized tube.
