Orvis CFO 123 Limited Edition Fly Reel 8 Weight Pale green and black jasperA very nice Orvis CFO 123 limited edition fly reel. Made in England for Orvis by Hardy in the late 80's or early 90s. Approximately 2 7 8" diameter and currently set up for RHW though easily reversible. There is line loaded on this reel and some very faint marks on the reel foot but I could find no sign of wear anywhere on the rest of the reel. Near mint condition bordering on true mint. This is #748 of the limited edition run. Olive frame and spool
