Bogdan #2 Salmon Reel

Bogdan #2 Salmon ReelA nice Bogdan Model 2 salmon reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. It weighs 13. 4 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with rash concentrated in the "resting place" on the frame edges and general cosmetic wear throughout. Warm champagne anodized frame and spool with black anodized sideplates. The crank handle is silver anodized as are the foot, poacher's knob, Bogdan nameplate, oil port cover, and the drag adjuster frame. "No. 2" is stamped on

I suspect this reel was refurbished by Stan at some point

The reel seat hardware doesn't have his die stamp and there's nothing scripted on the rod
