You said the first two guides are wire - do you think they've been replaced recently or are they original? It's hard to tell from the photos.
What size are the gathering guides?
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
I'm not a rod builder, but all the wraps match and look original and untouched. The first guide is 2 3/16" across and the second is 1 1/2". All wraps are old school variegated thread.
