Early Milwards rod.
I've bought the bottom two whole cane sections of a Milwards rod as a project. It has the early balance type handle with sheet cork and brass fittings. I suspect it would have had a greenheart top section? I'm not sure if the green stain/varnish is original though I'm quite certain the bright red whippings aren't. I wonder if any one has early Milwards catalogues that may help identify the rod which would have been 10' 6" complete.

Re: Early Milwards rod.
Excellent that website - especially for Hardy rods - but does have quite a few others including Falcon Rods.

Re: Early Milwards rod.
Thanks for that Barbel Seeker. There are two rods listed that fit the bill. One with a greenheart top and one with lancewood.Barbelseeker wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 10:31 am Perhaps
