F59 stamped on the pocket cap

Excellent condition with only slight evidence of use

The varnish shows age and use marks throughout

Arch also re-bushed the reel and the result is a super tight mechanical reel with absolutely zero wobble or end play

These reels were made from 1993 by Ari "to satisfy the demand from the trade for a reel that possessed the essential qualities of all the other ATH reels" (paraphrased

It appears original to me

The rod features champagne-colored wraps with burgundy tipping at the winding check

The cane is moderately tempered to a dark amber color with 2x2x2 node spacing

I would venture to say that this reel will be the crown jewel of your Zwarg collection
