Hardy Perfect 3 1/4" Wide Drum Fly Reel 8'10" Serial number 834For sale here is a nice example of a pre war Hardy Perfect Duplicated MK II wide drum fly reel. Original ribbed brass foot that shows slight filing on the upper side of both ends of the foot. Two engageable pawls. The tensioner functions perfectly throughout its range. The ebonite handle spins freely as it should. Overall a very nice reel that needs to get back on the water!
