It looks pretty worn for something only used four times - or are they made to look like that?

"The golden scale club".....what a joke LOL. Who do those clowns think they are, they seem to think because it's linked to them in some way it's worth more money.

 

I know it's been made to look old but those scratches on the bottom of the backplate arn't part of the finnish.

Nope! I'll watch to see what it makes but the performance of my latest acquisition has really got me wondering whether I need the aerial ‘pins that I’ve got let alone another one. Just wrestling with the idea of listing a couple of reels on e-bay myself.

It sounds like you really like the Barder Chris, great when you get something that you like so much .

Well, I can understand pins as high value counters in an investment portfolio, but £600-plus for a trotting reel (if it is to be used as such) seems a bit OTT.

 

My old Aerial cost me about half-a-dollar (part of a house clearance £5 lot of a dozen rods and as many bags of tackle - an artist's easel was also included, which I sold on to get my fiver back) I see a similar reel asks for bids over £500 ! The Aerial, an Avon Supreme and an Okuma Sheffield is as many as I want - let the Merlin go to the Wingham auction last year.
