Did MARCO ever make an ‘Avocet’

[Jeff Smith]

I’ve posted a question on the B.James section regarding an ‘Avocet’ style rod that I own.
The rod is fitted with a rubber button bearing the name ‘Marco’
It’s highly likely that it’s just been replaced and I’ve been told that the rod may be a JB Walker kit rod but, if MARCO ever made an ‘Avocet’,there’s that possibility too.
It’s been superbly restored by some genius somewhere but, does anyone recognise a similar rod in their MARCO collection?

I have a few Marco rods...and have seen quite a few over the years.
I also have a couple of un named rods with the Marco end screw in button bearing the name.
Lets see the rod if possible.

Well...
Correct me if I am wrong please..
It doesn't look like a Marco to me...
But.. I'm only 65 others might know better.looks a very nice rod though.
