All my whippings are original as the rod was mint and unused when I got it.
I hope that helps. If you need more detailed images of the whippings and measurements, just let me know.
Oh and happy new year too!

Thanks, that looks great, hope I can get mine somewhere near.
New stainless tip ring just arrived and I will re whip butt ring with maroon.

Thought I would share the repairs carried out this week and rod now ready for spring.
As recommended I sourced a suitable replacement tip ring which matches pretty well and re whipped the original butt ring.
Thread is also a very good match to say it was chosen from photos.
Very pleased with outcome although as you can tell I am a novice at rod repairs but very usable.

The same rings on my Avon Superb of 1967. Whipping silk "crimson".

That's a big improvement from how it looked in your first photos!
Now fit for purpose and ready for the bankside. Very well done sir
