As a result, the tip section is slightly shorter than the mid-section. This slightly stiffens the action, making it a brilliant, robust \"user rod\" rather than a pristine museum piece.\u003cbr\u003e* **The Blank \u0026amp; Whippings:** The classic brown blank shows light signs of use but is free from deep fractures. The original wine-coloured silk whippings are secure.\u003cbr\u003e* **Handle \u0026amp; Fittings:** The traditional cork handle shows honest bank-side patina but remains solid with no major chunking.
