I'm no help, Stefan, but that's a neat looking reel!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

It’s sorta similar to the one ID’d as a DAM reel discussed in another recent thread. Looks well-made, in spite of needing a good overhaul.

This is the thread I refer to:

Its a Norwegian reel made by Hans Thaulow. They show up on Tradera once year. Pretty rare...

Many thanks I would never have guessed and I have never heard of this manufacturer before.

My pleasure. I bid on one of these last Summer on Tradera and recalled that the "Reelmaster" was just the model name...but darned if I could remember the manufacturer. I knew it was Nordic..so I started going back on my Nordic links...and viola~ there it was.

Glad to help out where I can.
