HRH Prince Axel of Denmark 5 rod collection Hardy Pezon trout & salmon cane greenhear
Collection of 5 assorted split cane and greenheart rods from the late HRH Prince Axel collection, three with his trademark Danish flags insignia’s,
a Pezon et Michel Parabolic Saumon 10’6” 2 piece cane fly rod with correct spare tip, varnish crazed, light rusting to rings,
a Hardy The Norwegian Rod, 15’ 4 piece, heavy close whips, bronze ferrules, wood stoppers, cork handle with alloy screw sliding fittings, varnish crazed but still an impressive piece,
an unnamed greenheart salmon fly rod, 3 piece with 2 tips, making 11’6” and 12’ rods, a Farlow Barrat *of Paris, 9’6” 2 piece trout fly rod with spare tip (6” short), light corrosion to rings, lock, screw ferrules, and a Hardy The Koh-I-Noor Rod, originally 9’ with short tip making an 8’ rod, 4 rods with original bags, a good historic collection.
We had the pleasure of meeting with the family of the late HRH Prince Axel of Denmark, 1888 -1967.
A Danish Prince from the House of Glucksburg, he was a keen sportsman during his life and an angler of note.
Prince Axel's residence in Bernstorff was bought in 1978 by the British Government and became the residence of Britain's ambassador in Denmark. The new occupants maintain the late princely couple's private library in situ. It contains a significant number of books about fishing and sailing (Wikipedia)
His grandson with whom we met is the son of Prince Fleming. He married a non-noble woman and so became Count of Rosenborg, his son, and our contact brought the tackle collection of his grandfather Prince Axel to the UK to meet the Thomas Turner Coy.
The theme is game fishing related and many of the items carry a hand painted red white Danish flag insignia as well as the letter A on the fly reservoir and one engraved reel.
The tackle is untouched and in its original form, not cleaned or altered to retain originality.
We recommend any prospective buyer print of this listing as a Certificate of Authenticity relating to the tackle and its historic Royal heritage.
