A nice Dingley 3" fly reel made for retailer Alex Martin. Set up for RHW. Excellent patina and the frame and sideplate are on great condition. "Thistle" stamped on the winding plate along with "Alex Martin / Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen". No major scratches or issues anywhere. Nice coin-edge knurl in the inside edge of the crank side of the frame. Brass un-filed foot. Nice dual check design and the spring and pawl look good. The tension adjuster works well throughout the drag range. "D1" stamped inside. Nice and tight spool. A good little example of Dingley desiign here, ready for many more seasons on the river.
