Possibly the Hardy Deluxe, although that can't be stated as fact due to a refinish. Masterfully refinished and weighing 4.2oz., will cast a 5 wt line with the delicacy required. Wrapped claret at the guides and ferrules, with full intermediates of light honey. Despite measuring equally 1 inch short, the tips are original manufacture as the joined rod measures precisely 8 feet. Uplocking reel seat, with the butt ring marked "Hardy Bros. Ltd/Alnwick/England" in 3 lines with the shaft marked above the grip in spiraled ink script "Hardy Palakona / Alnwick,England" (this latter is not the original marking, and done at the time of restoration in much smaller than normal script). Serial number A97063 dates the manufacture to 1915. Guides are Hardy Patent standing ring guides. Blued waterproof suction fit ferrules are fitted with wooden ferrule plugs. All joints are tight, with no ferrule clicking. Packed in original olive canvas bag labeled "To The King/Hardy Bros,Ltd/Alnwick, Eng." Outer aluminum tube is a contemporary Hardy labeled addition.
