Came across a 330 with personal named side plate ? E Wanger
All most looks like it is punched in , but only in the black paint . ?
Any other out there ?
I think that is professionally engraved.
If you were a tackle or sporting goods shop in the 60's that carried D.A.M. products — they would occasionally give you a reel with your name engraved on the sideplate.
Nice touch...
I have a couple — one on a Super 270 and another on a Microlite 265.
If that sideplate was on a 330, it was originally on a 280 or 285.
Any good trophy shop can engrave these sideplates for $10 - $15.
Best,
