Default hardy palakona coronation in box with coin insets

whilst clearing out my late fathers attic i came across the above
it has a spare tip section but no bag i would suggest that the condition is reasonable and with my limited knowlage of cane rods do not know if it has been restored or not.(he was a rod restorer and repairer for an edinburgh tackle shop)
Any ideas as to value as i am looking to donate the proceeds to the Marie Curie Cancer Fund if its not buttons

What length is the assembled rod?
Is there a Number on it? (there were Nos. 1 to 4 Coronation rods, No 4 was a spinning rod - made in the early 50's) (there should also be a number on the reel seat, which can be used to determine actual year it was made)

I'll 2nd a request for photos.

Brian
