Detachable fighting butt showing detail of the ebony butt cap consisting of a solid silver coin (three penny piece from Britain dated 1921) inlaid in recessed mammoth ivory.
After the photo had been taken I realized that I had put the detachable butt the wrong way around so that the coin appears upside down in the photo!
I suppose the photo could be redone, although I am certain that the general idea will be conveyed without the need for this!
Another view of my first two fly rods built on Hexagraph and GUSA blanks.
The fish was caught 50 million years ago.
NOTE: This photo has been uploaded again because the first version was too dark.
