A 12 ft version?

The only Chapmans "Peter Stone 600" listed on their website is a 10ft., 3 piece, Ledger rod made from 1965 to 1970 ... I've personally never heard of a 12 footer ... but I'm no expert.

That is why I asked Mal!

Allegedly called this: - "Hunter Specimen Roach"

The seller got it wrong it,s a 10 footer.

A bit embarrassing for the dealer!

Now withdrawn.
