The Hardy 'Marksman' is a split cane, Palakona two-piece rod crafted by Hardy's of Alnwick. Dating to 1955 (registration number H2811), the rod remains in good, usable condition.

The 22" cork handle offers a comfortable grip, and the alloy screw reel fitting is stamped with Hardy's logo and two Royal Appointment seals - one of which is the Prince of Wales's plume of three feathers. The shaft bears a painted black spiral inscription reading: "The 'Marksman' 'Palakona' Regd Trade Mark". The rod measures 8 ft 3" in length. It comes in a Hardy canvas bag that includes two original paper labels - one listing the rod's specifications and the other offering guidance on the care of the rod.
