Orvis Green Mountain series question

I'm going to give my son my Orvis fly rod for his birthday. I bought
it new ~15 years ago when graphite was new. I can't find any info on
it. Any help will be appreciated.
It's Green Mountain Series 8' 2-7/8 oz, for 6-weight graphite with an
Orvis Madison reel. As I recall I bought it from the Dallas Orvis
store and paid $200+.
....I bought one of those early on in my FFing career, I believe it was
called the "AllRounder" as Orvis claimed it would suffice for trout as well
as bass. A nice rod with a medium action. I used it for a period of time
and then gave it to my brother who was just getting interested in
flyfishing. A decent rod, should make a fine gift for your son.
