Metal fly rod refinishing

[chris from canada]

Hello guys,

I was given an old metal fly rod with a wooden handle.

It is a little rusty, but in half decent shape.

I was wondering what the best way would be to clean it up, and then repaint it; I would like to keep it as close to original as possable.

It will be a wall hanger.

For those who are intersted the model is a bristol, made by heddon in conn.

Does anyone also know what it might be worth, or have any info on the rod ( when it was made, etc.)?

Have a great day !
chris
