I am not very familiar with DAM reels, but Andrew Davis recommended them to me, and having seen the stripped down ones on here (which shows them to be very well engineered) I have been on the lookout for a nice one.
I have found a very nice looking Finessa 280 on an auction site and have placed a bid.
Does anyone know what the production years were for this model?
Thank you, John

This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Great reels and very robust. The four DAM reels that i have seem to be made out of old Panzer tanks so consequently are not the lightest of reels.

Roland Lindengergh has an excellent website with all the info you'll need, but late 50's off the top of my head for a 280. Excellent reels. Regards Cat

That's brilliant thank you Cat.
Having checked out the web site (it's brilliant) the Quick Finessa 280 would have been made between Nov 1956 and 1960.
