Hardy Uniqua Fly Reel 3 5/8" Spitfire

2795


A nice Hardy Uniqua fly reel with the rare spitfire finish, 3 5/8" diameter and currently set up for  LHW, though I suspect it was a RHW originally. The reel is stamped with Jimmy Smith's "JS" initials on the inside of the frame. The reel has the duplicated Mark II check stamping on the outside, but only a single check inside. Very fine overall condition with just a few bits of cosmetic wear  but devoid of any major issues. Mechanically the reel is excellent and the spool is very tight (which can be rare with these models). Telephone style latch. Ribbed brass foot. The handle appears to be rare erinoid and spins well enough but could use a tiny touch of oil. The reel packs into a blue vinyl (non-original) Hardy pouch.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
