Help - Allstar - Batson Rod Blank Identification

OK heres the scoop. I put a rod up for sale and had to remove because ultimately I was not sure what the blank is.

The guy I bought from in 2006 said it was a SW1209Batson/Rainshadow.
I decide to sell it and I determine that it may be a 1208, based on info gathered on this site and taking some rough measurements of the rod blank and making edumacated guess. I pulledthe ad until I can be sure what the hell I have.
I am going to try to get in touch with MikeCC to get his opinion.
In the meantime I wanted the opinions of the learned folks here, of what you think I have here. I'll post A few pics to review.

It is a 1 pc. 10 foot rod, built in late 2005. Flat / matte black blank color.
Estimated (has cork tape and cap end) butt end measurment is between 0.850 to 0.90. Tip just below guide tip base (1' from rod tip) mikes out at about 0.105.
Is it a 1208 or 1209 ??????
Batson or Allstar
