Maxwell Leonard 50M-5 Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 8'3" May rose silk wrapsAn early period Maxwell Leonard 50M 5, 3 piece 2 tip. Serial #193. Standard blonde cane. The usual super varnish job. Honey colored wraps, brown at the ferrules. Overall condition of this rod is near mint ++. The only thing I could find on this was a little discoloration of the grip and a tiny amount of edge wear to the ring and the corner of the butt cap. 6 inch, 12 cork slim cigar grip. The grip has some compression dents from the guides pressing on
