Looks like droop in the tip.....
Didnot know that Olivers had a real Richard Walker rod,too..

How I have to understand this?Richard Walker built or built cane rod in meaning of split cane rod?!?

Oliver's made a great MKIV but the label looks nothing like one of theirs.

I had a look at this, don't fancy it. Description odd and rod looks a bit floppy for a Mk IV... Not that I'm an expert on them...

Very odd rod ,bidding/bidders do not look right ? Olivers did sell plain blanks without supplying transfers.

Hmm. Terrible photos, definitely doesn't look like an Oliver's colour scheme. Definitely short. Bidding looks questionable.

Bound to disappoint in my humble opinion.

Loads of Oliver's blanks and other bits for sale at the moment on ebay.


Looks like a stock clearance.
