Received this today. Needs a full refurb but it's all original, complete and badged.
A Milwards flycraft 8 1/2' probably a 4 /5 weight.
Does anyone know any more about these before I decide what to do with it?

I'm sure Sean M has one, might be worth a PM. Looks a nice rod too, wouldn't mind one of those myself one day...

Thanks Scott, although it doesn't seem to be popular.

Yup, I've got one dating from 1953.
Here's the story of its rebuild:

They were built for the US market so they have a much faster action than many fly rods of the day. I really like mine.

Picked up one of these a few months ago in unused condition and have used it a couple of times. A lovely light rod to use and casts a 6/7 weight line without being overpowered.

The number 4571 looks like a serial number, not AFTM. Hard to see.
