Dating Hardy Rods

Post by MaggotDrowner »

A few years ago l looked up the dates my Hardy LRH rods (I have two no2s) were made.

Does anyone have a copy of the document that allows you to look at the code on the butt cap and convert it to date of manufacture?

Just applying some varnish to one of mine that was chipping with age.
