Title: Victory reel..I think..
Post by: kiwiretzev on August 23, 2020, 04:48:49 AM

Hi all,
an older friend of mine (who finds technology challenging..) has asked me to identify this old 'Victory' reel that he has found.
I certainly don't know and was wondering if anyone else could help out?
Thanks very much.

IIRC there was a 'Victory' company in the 50s ish based in Malmo, southern Sweden. I think they were axed when Abu decided to 'rule the world'

Yes there was, but they made mostly baitcaster style reels. They changed owners a few times, and eventually dissolved.
