Markings: The only marking on this rod is a very finely signed signature D B Norris. owner.
Remarks: This rod was in need of refinishing. It has been beautifully brought back to life and back on the water. It had no Heddon markings that survived but is featured here because of its very short run with the recessed hood and uplocking Circassian Walnut realseat. These versions found between 1935 and 1936 are very seldom seen. Please see the more photos section for this rod where I have a photo of the sketch that shows this particular model #50 from the book, - HEDDON THE ROD WITH THE FIGHTING HEART by Michael -Sinclair. Rod restoration performed by Al Zoller...(Material.. Split Bamboo)
