Also know as the "Benjamin" (little brother) in Holland. This reel was distributed by Albatros. It came with an extra spool (shallow) in the box. I believe this was the first 308 issued in Europe. I don't know which of the European Distributors included this reel in their product line. I know that the 308 that Albatros issued had a Benjamin Medallion on the cover plate side at one time. I theorize that it would have been a later year. Retrieve ratio is 5:1 and it has Plan-O-matic gears. The rotating head turns on ball bearings. Considered Rare.
