This 1912 is all original and still a great user or collector reel . the reel is tight no wobbles or line burns and has the super smooth circular line guide .
there is a slight bend to the foot but fits my salmon wye perfectly .
there is a hairline crack from the circular line guide to frame edge but is naturally pinned between pins holding line guide .please note the crack is not all the way through the frame it is only on the cosmetic edge .
I bought the reel knowing the slight fault but the quality of the reel is exceptional and a great entry reel for someone to use and fish with in the 1912 club
