Museum Archive: Panther Martin Svizzero Martellato, 1/4oz Silver fishing spoon #17225

A gleaming silver finish with a distinct hammered texture defines the Svizzero Martellato, an Italian-made classic from Panther Martin. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the body features a deep concave profile designed to reflect light across its many dimpled facets. This specimen, identified by product code 17225, retains its original factory shine without the need for any restoration. The 'Martellato' name refers specifically to this hammered surface, a feature often chosen by anglers for a more complex visual presence in the water. For hardware, it utilizes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, while the head is finished with a traditional wire-wrapped loop for durability during casting. Having a condition rating of 6, this lure is unused and presents exactly as it did when it left the factory in Italy. This manufacturing origin remains a significant part of the brand's reputation for quality metal lures.
