Bogdan Model 300 Salmon Reel - LHW

Bogdan Model 300 Salmon Reel - LHWA rare Bogdan model 300 salmon reel, set up for desirable LHW. This was one of Stan's two largest catalogued models with a 3 3 4" diameter and 1 5 8" spool width, perfect for matching with a larger two handed rod. This reel is in excellent used condition with some minor rash to the rims, mounting marks on the foot, and light some scratches around the screws on the cranking side. Overall I would characterize this wear as relatively light, however,
