Re-hello,
Here is the rod from the 1917 Arty Rig. 8 in, Brass tip, Root Beer Barrel type handle. But there is some varnish leak on one side of the handle ( see PIC ). Also there is no scratches or nicks on the handle ( looks too good to me ). Varnish has a glossy apperance. Could that be correct ?? I suspect an old Repro as there is no Proofmark on the rod.
Thanks for the help,
