Farlow 4 1/4" Regal fly reel

Farlow 4 1/4" Regal fly reelHere is a classic reel not often seen for sale a 4 1 4 inch Farlow Regal fly reel with lots of original leading remaining. Probably one of my favorite check systems ever. As with several other Regals I've handled, the check spring on this one is not the tightest I've seen, but it is a palmable spool. No wobble or other issues. No line grooves which is very rare in itself. Correct smooth brass foot attached with two screws has been neatly filed on one

[[[Comes with original box

No issues to disclose as the internal mechanics are as to be expected with an early reel such as this one

This reel is unlined and the only thing preventing it from being described as mint condition are some very minor marks in the anodized back plate by the drag adjustment knob
