Default Fly reel question

Hi,
I have just decided to take up the obsession - er hobby - of fly
fishing and had a question. The only equipment that I currently have
is a reel that I won about 10 years ago. It's a Marquis 8/9. Can



Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Hardy. ;-)

Isnt there also a manufacture (american if im not mistaking) making a reeel
simply called Marquis? I'm more or less sure Ken is right, but now I think
about it, I think i recently saw a Marquis reel on a website which WASNT a
Hardy reel.

Is the spool silver, and the house dark blue/grayish? If its a Hardy, it
should say so on the reel. My 15 year old Hardy Marquis 6/7 had Hardy
written all over the damn thing. ) You got a pic Mike?
