Wanted: I am reaching out to your club on behalf of my father, who is an avid fly fisherand classic gear enthusiast. He is currently looking to acquire an authentic, vintage Hardy Marquis #5 fly reel (the original pre-2000s model made in Alnwick, England with the solid back casing). To help make this happen, he is highly interested in either a straight purchase or a potential trade. He currently owns a vintage House of HardyMarquis 2/3 Fly Reel with its original pouch. To be clear, this is the highly collectibleoriginal 2.5'' version, not the modern LWT reproduction. The reel is in lovely condition,making it an excellent addition to a collection, though it remains perfectly functionalshould the next owner wish to fish it. Contact Erica on email emje7692@gmail.com
