Got home today to find a box on my desk from my Dad who lives in Florida.
Normally anything from him is historical gun or blade related, but he got me on this one because he does not fish.
Like New DQ 270 C with the owners manual.
I called him to ask about it, a buddy of his passed away who was a member of his Gun Club and his widow brought some of his stuff to sell. He got it for $20!
He also got some nice WWII 1911 bits and pieces. He's why I collect WWI/WWII stuff.
I can tell it's been mounted on a rod because it has a slight clip where it sat in the seat. Other than that it's MINT.
Bail works as it should and the reel functions perfectly.

Fred,
You wouldn't happen to have a box for this would you?
Or anything else that came ITB with it new?
Thanks,
Steve
She's a beauty!
Nice reel. Nicer dad.
One of the strongest HD spinning reels ever produced by any manufacturer.
Tough & capable.
Best, Fred
cool Dad, still giving gifts to his young boy !
Hi Steve —-
Since this was a gift from your Dad, and this is my 10,000th post —-
Here is a box, a small parts bag with (2) under-spool washers, a bail spring, a spring and bail bumper, plus a NOS spool of 12 lb. Gold Damyl line from D.A.M..
N/C, and I will cover the shipping.
Best, Fred

WHAT!!!!
Wow Fred (10,000th post on me, how lucky am I?) but I insist on a barter deal.
Maybe a loaf of Kelly's Pumkin Banana Bread, Cookies, Graden raised Pesto, my beef jerky, my first born?
All the above!
However I did order a Mitchell 302 and a DQ 550N bail kit from you so please let me know what I owe you, with shipping, and I'll get it to you!
Thank you!
Steve
And yes I will buy to lotto ticket tonight!
