Otto Zwarg Model 400 Laurentian Fly Reel - Size 2/0 2 Weight The German silver reel foot

The German silver reel foot is full length

although one of the replacement tips shows 2x2x2

The truncated Swiss-style ferrules are size 11/64 with a perfect fit

Maybe the darkest pumpkin-toned varnished cane finish I've ever seen on a Howells rod

with a relevant excerpt: "Much of his spare time he devotes to hunting and fishing"
