What's the picture around the piano all about.

Very interesting, its fascinating to realise that Walker himself didnt really make that many rods but others carried out much of the work themselves.
I know several anglers that have mk 4s but it looks impossible for them to say that Walker himself actually made it .

Kevin Clifford and I discussed this some years ago and I agree with him that he doubts that Dick actually made '20' Mark IV's. Ten perhaps may be nearer the number.
