Italian versions of the Swiss Staro reel

[Paul M]

Sergio Di Marco has just published an article on the STARO reel produced in Switzerland on the ANTIPES website.

I would like to point out this fact because I was able to clarify some important historical details thanks to some photos published in the "Orca on line" Forum that show a first version of STARO that is identical to the very rare copies produced in Italy and that we know as ISEO, GIMAR and even BST -ALBATROS.

I hope this article will also be useful to the many fans and collectors associated with ORCA.

Best wishes from Italy.

Great research and connection to a couple of reels that most of us that don't reside in Italy ever see. Thank you, Sergio, for bringing it to our attention!
