Dingley Alex Martin Thistle Fly Reel 3 1/2"

694


A nice Dingley 3 1/2" fly reel made for retailer Alex Martin. Set up for RHW. Excellent patina and the frame and sideplate are in great condition. "Thistle" stamped on the winding plate along with "Alex Martin / Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen". Ventilated plate on the other side. No major scratches or issues anywhere. Nice coin-edge knurl in the inside edge of the crank side of the frame. Brass lineguard. Brass foot that has been lightly filed on the sides but not shortened. Nice dual check design and the spring and pawl look good. The tension adjuster works well throughout the drag range. "4" stamped inside. Nice tight spool. Some black dacron backing is loaded on the reel. A good little example of Dingley design here in a versatile size.

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.
