I have several C 815s and use them regularly - very fine reels in my opinion and well worth refurbishing and bringing back into use.

Black Prince this reel will certainly be used along with my other centre pin reels, I'm not a collector but a user, though I do enjoy seeing my rods displayed in the rack and my reels in the cabinet. When I look at my rods and reels memories come flooding back, long may it last.

It looks like he did a fabulous job on that reel , I have z rod that was refurbished by Steve Boncey and the work is similarly impressive.

Btw the way I decided to kept the old warrior as It is, thete is a lot of character there which I like , it will at some point have the drag repaired though .
