I purchased this reel from a gentleman in 2015 along with the rest of his fishing tackle he was 85 and giving up angling. The story is when he used this reel on its first outing he dropped it and half of the foot of the handle broke off.however he being an engineer manufactured the handle himself. I have used it many times and it runs very smooth also the handle is very comfortable to use if a bit heavier than the original one. It comes with a spare spool and box (box has a chip on side but still closes please check out the photos as they form part of the description. Thanks.

Officially released in 1961, Mitchell presented their first Presentation, gold trimmed, DL (Deluxe) spinning reel. Initially, the catalogues listed the reel with a 15cm x 30cm oak presentation box but it appears this was just an artist rendition. The actual box size was 15cm x 15cm when released in the summer of 1962. This first version was fitted with the original chevron type anti-reverse system and "4-Star" gold painted drag nut. Gold plating was added to most of the external components and trim, including an attached nameplate. This first version was only offered in the US & Canada. Approximately 4000 reels were manufactured during this period. Used in good condition......
