Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 5/8"

Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 5/8"A Hardy Perfect fly reel 3 5 8", and set up for the usual RHW. Early pre war model with a duplicated mark II check. The reel is in fine fishing condition with three issues of note. First, there is a small crack in the frame that may be okay to leave and fish as is. Second, the handle is a replacement. And third, the agate has a crack in it. Otherwise the reel is in normal used condition with some loss of finish as a cosmetic wear. Ribbed brass foot.

There is a small hook dig between this guide and the male ferrule

I suspect it may have been polished as there are small chips evident to the ferrule coating but not the rod shafts

All of these point to a Korean-made reel

Comes with its original Vom Hofe issued leather case in good condition as well
