Hi Chaps
I'm not really clued up about Ambidex models despite reading through the large amount on info on the TFF . It seems there are so many variants.
This one cane to me and all I knew was it looks like an " FP" but I have little idea apart from that . Most FP's also appear Brown / Gold in colour .
The reel is quite a good runner.
Any thoughts appreciated.
John

Looks like an Ambidex Casting Reel MK IV to me.

The name/model No. should be on the left hand side plate.

Re: Help to identify Ambidex
No model ID on the Number Four. The early model had the two piece bale arm, later versions the one piece full bale arm. Made 1958 body part number JWY 591 Folding handle JWY 548. Line drum 1:- two piece made of a nylon type substance or 2:- one piece top made of nylon, bottom metal. The Allcock version named the Duco B is identical apart from the colour.
