Stamped directly into the gold-finished blade, the 'ITALY' mark identifies this vintage piece as an authentic early production model from a legendary spinner lineup. The blade displays the iconic Panther Martin logo along with the number 1003460, highlighting the European heritage of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) inline spinner. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), it utilizes a distinctive through-the-blade design where the wire shaft passes directly through the convex gold blade. This construction allows the lure to maintain a very tight rotation profile. The teardrop-shaped body is finished in a bright orange, offering a bold visual target in various water conditions. Cataloged under product code 3885, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, featuring a clean finish and its original treble hook setup. The brass bead spacer provides essential clearance between the blade and the body, ensuring smooth mechanical function on every cast.
