Two screw holes on the back plate show some use
Please note there is a cosmetic dent in the tube 4" back from the brass collar (pictured at bottom)
The rod is in excellent original condition except that one tip section was damaged between the tip-top and last snake guide and an invisible protective wrap was placed over this as a repair
Please note: there is some dust in the varnish of all sections
The tip sections are differentiated by a longer tip-top wrap on one
