The original brass foot is full length and unblemished

The slide band reel seat is a burl walnut

Charlton 8450C Fly Reel with 5/6 Spool 10' The original brass foot isA nice Charlton 8450C fly reel with a 5 6 spool. Set up for LHW but can be easily reversed to RHW. Good lightly used condition with a little bit of rim rash and some minor cosmetic wear throughout. Exceptional quality and the intelligent configurable design that these reels were known for. With the quick change of a spool you can alter both the weight of the reel and line with appropriate backing capacity, and swap in one of the 3 4, 5 6, and 7 8
