Nice find Dries! I’ve not seen a Special 510 before either and in beautiful condition…we see very little Arca and Special reels in the states…would like to see the box. Thanks for showing.

Thanks Mates,
Chris, the box top needs a lot of work

Hello Mates,
I think i,m lucky with this combo in excellent condition .
I,ve seen only 5 or 6 in the last 15 years without a box !
This one was sold by Albatros in 1969 /70
Hope to get an answer from them tomorrow about the Conolon rod without markings (Mitchell Conolon special 231 F1 1.80 m 4-12 gr )
best regards Dries

Hello mates,
I,ve called Albatros and it,s confirmed that I have an early Conolon 500 series sample rod .
