Blimey!
Does that mean the seller didn't know about the Walker provenance?
Well done.

This is all very, very interesting; all the more so as it would appear that the seller had no idea of the reels provenance. You will indeed have to tell us more.

Any chance of a look inside? Well done, to think someone owned it and never knew, given walkers high regard is astonishing.

What a find, just amazing. It's worth an absolute fortune. A holy grail type moment I think. It would be interesting to compare this to the BB reel, who owns that? Doing so could confirm the provenance beyond any doubt. What I don't understand is why a woman in Yorkshire with no knowledge of or interest in fishing would acquire this in the first place. Either way it doesn't matter. It's your's now. Possibly the most significant fishing find of the year!
