Orvis 50a with injured or no bail

[Alex Argyros]

I'm in the market for an Orvis 50a that I will render bailess. If anyone has a good 50a to sell, I'd be interested. I'd be especially interested in one that has a bad bail, since I plan on removing it anyway.

They did make a no bail model as well. I just got one. The bail arm is different from the regular 50A in that it is made to be fixed in the closed position. There was one on ebay not too long ago and the seller thought the bail wire was missing or broken, I think it went close to $100 anyway.
