That’s a nice piece with great provenance, overpriced though, I’m sure someone with deep pockets will snap it up.

If I had not got one from OMR just 6 days ago I would have had that, I missed a bargain there.
Thanks

Fifteen hundred quid! That’d need to come complete with the rod and reel he used for me to find the bottom of my pockets!

For that sort of money, I'd want Chris to come and land my fish for me

Allegedly the frame was made by Bob Southwell and the net was knitted by a certain K. Kendall. Allegedly.

K.Kendall didn't knit he crochet'd!
On a more serious note, if someone is prepared to pay £1500 for this net, what might someone be prepared to pay for your Dick Walker reel? Interesting thought!
