Default Hardy salmon Marquis No.2

I have 2 of these and was wondering what they're worth.
Both are in fantastic condition with there cases, fully loaded reels with lines, and spare spools also loaded, both include an instruction booklet.

Probably £50- 70 each. Maybe a little more for completeness and spare spools.

Well, if you offer them for £70 each, be prepared to have your arm bitten off at the elbow!

Apologies, John gray's post made me think again. A completed I tems search on Ebay shows that I should have said £100-150.

Sorry about that, I must have been thinking about the trout reels.

Do they have single or twin pawls? Reels with twin pawls are generally thought to be more desirable, though I see the single pawl one linked below went for a lot of money.

Twin pawl ones have four rivets visible on the backplate, whereas single pawl ones only have one - pictures below from recent ebay sales.
