Repairs and restoration completed - well, it has been restored to its proper length with interconnected structural and component repairs. I hope the owner enjoys some great fishing with this fine instrument, which has just chalked up 81 years. Thanks for all the commends and advice during the rebuild.

Some imges of the finished rod to share below.
