Very rare Georgian poachers rod
This is a very interesting antique item we found hanging on the wall in a recent house clearance.Its a Georgian period silver mounted poachers fishing rod.The rod dates from probably the 18th century at the latest and the silver marks are now non existent.The rod is in used condition and the handle is quite dented and has had repairs in the distant past.It has an eye on the handle and on the end wich are probably replacements and the end has an iron spike.Its about 39 inches in length and would make a very rare addition to any vintage fishing collection.
