Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 1/4"

Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 1/4"An excellent Hardy Perfect wide drum salmon reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for the usual RHW. A fine example of this hard to find size, it is in excellent original condition with nothing more than the minor cosmetic wear you'd expect from a reel of this age. No chips, cracks, or any other defects that I could find. The dark leaded finish is in great shape and the reel boasts a desirable nickel silver line guard. Duplicated Mark II check that's nice
