prototype vintage Hardy Viscount 150 green finish fly reel never seen another

[Thomas Turner]

Never seen another of these, I believe it to be a Hardy prototype of the Viscount 150 reel in green anodised finish,
has the Hardy castle spool release logo boss, all the Hardy fittings and a U shaped line guide let in the frame
The backplate has no Hardy details or markings and the foot is rough filed, all this makes me firmly believe its prototype that never went into production
Useable, collectable and in fine condition, doubt you’ll see another.
