Fenwick SH1441 F

Hey Guys
A customer of mine recently found a new old stock Fenwick flyrod really long for a flyrod I have been tasked with building the rod as close to original as possible but cannot find any info on what it should look like.
Also the reel seat diameter is large at 18mm(just under 3/4 inch) and I cannot find a flyrod vintage looking reel seat of that size. Can anyone help as this kind of gear is really difficult to source out here in South Africa.
Thanks
Rob

It's not a fly blank, but you can build what you want from it. "F" are fly blanks, "SH" are steelhead gear blanks.
