The quality of this reel is top notch.  Made in West Germany in the early sixties, these reels were made to last. This particular reel has seen little use and is in primo, used condition.  View the photos closely to see what I mean. Everything works with precision and ease.  The drag is smooth.  Whether you are a collector or a serious angler, you can't go wrong with this reel.  Shipping is via priority mail and the shipping weight is two pounds. Good luck, have fun and reel this baby in.
