8', 3/2. Wrapped light bronze, tipped gold, nickel silver ferrules that are heavily engraved with gunsmith type quality. Marked in white ink scripted above the grip "The Amabilis / - 1985 - / Ltd Edition - #5" over five flats. The high quality leather tube is accented with the same type of engraving as found on the rod fittings on its brass caps. The top surface of the cap features a very subtle "T&T" incorporated in the design. A tribute to Arundinaria Amabilis, the 'lovely bamboo' of the rodmaker's art. Engraving was done by an Italian gun engraver, and is an outstanding example of the engraver's art.
