Incidentally, this Trudex is a different colour to the usual silver, with a touch of black added to make what we used to call 'gun metal' in colour. It's also got a little steel pin locking the foot to the reel in addition to the usual rivet which can work loose in time. The black painted foot is unusual too...the last two Allcock Guides, 1967 and 1968 talk of a chrome plated foot. I can only guess this reel is one of the last ever made, I've certainly never seen another like it.
My trudex arrived today and it also has a black painted foot and a pin holding the foot to the reel

I'm spotting more and more Trudexes with the pin now...not sure when it started.
