HL Leonard Model 40-7 Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #7 1 Weight It has a single pawl/spring

It has a single pawl/spring and no ball bearings (a "eunuch" model)

Only ~150 of these reels were made and since ~2005 they have been out of production

The rod is in near mint condition having been lawn cast only

The drag tension adjuster works as it should
