Info on Hardy Brothers fly rod

[murray]

I have a Hardy Brothers fly rod for an appraisal. When assembled it is 8'. The rod is made up of 2 pieces with no second tip and the 2 sections are the same length. I would grade it an 8 on your scale. The bottom reel seat has Hardy Bros Alnwick England on it. The upper is stamped E63277. Above the cork handle on the rod itself says "Palakona", CC De France rod. I cannot make out the rest. It comes with a greenish canvas bag with a Hardy Brothers tag on in and both upper and lower tie laces are intact. Thanks in advance.

A very nice 3 pc CC De France recently sold for $275 on the auction site, so a 2 pc in lesser condition would probably be $200 or less. They are generally considered to be pretty good fishing sticks for some on this side of the pond.
