Description

In superb condition throughout as I doubt it has been used more than a few times, it is 100% original, smooth cork handle, nice tight suction ferrule joint, completely straight with NO sets or ticks, alloy butt ring with snake rings throughout with black silk whippings tipped with red and complete with original red rod bag and tube which are in very good condition. This is one of the hardest M Riccardi rods to find especially in this condition.

Length 8’2, Line rating #5/6 and weighs 5 oz

Please Note: The certificate and butt section has the serial number 0711825 whereas the tip section has the number 0711823, I have been offered several theories.

The tip cannot be a replacement because the tip number is lower than the butt section which would indicate the tip was made earlier

There is a sister rod to this one with the tip number 0711825 which happened in the workshop.

Either way, the tip is a perfect match to the butt and it is clear this is how it left the workshop.
