ORVIS CFO III FLY REEL, ENGLAND, LHW

ORVIS CFO III FLY REEL, ENGLAND, LHW

Newer CFO made by BFR in England.  Comes with Orvis marked soft leather case.  Reel features the “frameless” design originally developed for this model by Stanley Bogdan.  Excellent 5wt reel.  Condition is fine with some rubs on the outer rim, as shown.  Not certain whether these are from handling or from poor storage.  Beyond that, no real evidence of use.  Currently set up for left hand wind but an easy change if you are right handed.
