Ernest Dingley's personal leather cast wallet 8' Reel seat is German silver/Argentine

Reel seat is German silver/Argentine slide band over a very beautifully figured wood spacer

The hangtag states "Tournament 3 5/8 oz 50-6" although I would use a #5 and it may well support a #4

The superb dry-fly action is on the faster side of medium-fast
