The tips are numbered one and two for convenience. Full wells grip 6 1/4" in length with light soiling. Blued nickel silver up-locking sliding band reel seat over a mortised burl rosewood spacer. The blued nickel silver butt cap shows some bluing loss at the rim. The blued Swiss-style nickel silver ferrules are size 14/64 with a perfect fit. The rod weighs 3.85 oz.
