CHAPMAN SHELFORD
A couple of picture of my Chapman Shelford that i had refurbished by Jim Arnold who only lives a few miles from me, he has done a fantastic job, the rod stripped back new set of line guide from Chapmans were whipped on and varnished, she now looks as good as new.

Re: CHAPMAN SHELFORD
Several of The VFC's landing nets and handles were converted from old rods by a Jim Arnold, who I always assumed was a local (i.e. a Norfolkman). Has he moved, was I mistaken, or are there two Jim Arnolds into vintage tackle restoration? :think:BJMason wrote: Jim Arnold who only lives a few miles from me
