I believe you got a good deal.

I also believe you got a good deal.

hard to tell from the picture but if its american made it appears you got a great deal if it isnt american made you still made a good deal.

Great deal, looks like the older USA made version, prob sell it on Ebay for $30+ - if the reel seat doesnt fit your rod...

I emailed him and told him that his prices were a little off.

It's a 6 rivet older Medalist...you got an excellent deal.
Eric yes it's an American made reel, Akron, Ohio
Pillcaster - Thanks for the link, I just may be updating this reel - that's a really cool site and some nice update pieces.

that's great, I love the medalists everything a trout reel needs to be, well built and simple. I like things that have been around for years. things that don't work extremely well don't last.
