This Hardy Perfect is a prewar model with fat handle, curved stamps, 3.95” screwed on foot and the typical spring and pawl arrangements. It has no blemishes at all and looks like new but it could have been recoated because it seems to be in too great shape to be true. If it had it would have been done professionally, having replaced all the rivets, and it’s not paint, maybe it’s powder coated, I’m not an expert …. and of all I can guess it’s not a vintage leading. I don’t think that this coat comes off easily.
Mechanically it is a ten out of ten and the check is very strong, the sound of it waking a bear up in its hibernation 😊 But it would also cut a fine figure on a collector's shell 😉
I would use it myself but there’s no water and fish here in Switzerland that would be a challenge for that beauty.
Price includes shipping from Switzerland and PayPal fees
If you don’t want to buy it enjoy the looks of it 🤗
