Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin Zavorra con Mosca 4, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #1816

Stamped directly into the metal of the gold-colored blade, the 'MADE IN ITALY' mark highlights the authentic European craftsmanship found in this specific specimen. Weighing 3/32 oz (3 g) with a length of 1 1/2" (4 cm), this small-profile spinner is a staple for targeting trout in varied stream conditions. The construction features a signature post-mounted blade that sits directly on the wire shaft without a clevis, a design choice intended to allow the blade to spin freely even at slow retrieval speeds. Both the teardrop body and the blade are finished in a consistent gold tone, providing a classic metallic flash. A close look at the blade's face reveals the detailed stamping of the iconic elephant logo alongside the '4 MARTIN' size designation. Rated 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-preserved, with the gold finish and treble hook showing no evidence of use. This particular item is listed under product code 1816.
