The definitive history of the Hurd Super Caster is available in the May 2012 issue of Reel News, available online in the members area. There is no mention of a presentation model. It is likely that anyone could have engraved their initials on this reel. I think this reel was discontinued prior to the ascent of Michael Jordon, so that cannot be the previous owner.
