$ 4,450
2297
A beautiful Walt Carpenter Browntone model fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a DT5 line. Serial #12880. The rod weighs 4.2 ounces on my scale. Mint, uncast condition with the paper and gum still on the grip. "French Walnut" and "Doval Taper" are inked on the grip by Walt, along with the rest of the rod data. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern. Superb varnish. Brown main wraps with black edges and a band of yellow and red at the keeper and male ferrules. The step ferrules are oxidized jet black. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a medium cigar profile. The varnished cap and ring slide band seat includes a spectacular piece of smokey french walnut. "WS Carpenter, Maker" is stamped on the oxidized butt cap. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag and an aluminum tube with brass fixtures as well as Walt's data sticker.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
