are the specs.

Markings on shaft above grip; "Orvis Impregnated"
                                                "Superfine"
                                               6' - 1 7/8 oz
                                                 H D G (6)

Marking about 18" up from grip;  4-1969  G. A. G.  (the makers =
initials?)

Taper:

00  Tiptop
01   .080"

Grip


Guide spacing: Tiptop, 5", 11 1/4", 19", 27", 36 1/2", Stripper @46 =
1/2".  Hookkeeper is mounted.  The grip is all cork including reelseat, =
8" overall length, 2 very fine aluminum sliding rings, and an aluminum =
butt cap.  The rod does cast a # 6 line but also a #5 just fine. =20
