Help me identify a Lamiglas blank

I have a Lamiglas blank with no label or ID info that I need help identifying. I don't t know the model or line weight.

It's 9'3", 4-pc., satin (not gloss or matt) gray natural graphite finish, very pronounced tapered ferrules and seems to be very fast action.

Except for the butt (7/16") and the ferrules, this is a very small diameter blank. The tip is inder 1/16" and looks like it would take a 3.5 top!

I've never seen a blank that feels this stout (feels like 7-8 wt. or so) but has such a small tip. Any idea what I may have here?

Also, it weighs about 2.2 oz.

Thanks in advance for your efforts-

Your best bet will be to email Lamiglas and ask them. With the specs you give, they can probably match up that model and let you know what you have. I'm just not familiar enough with them to really be of much help this time.

Jeff,
Do you have any idea how old the blank is? And is there a possibility that it is a blem?

Todd

Todd,

Thanks for your reply. I've also replied via email. I believe the blank is a blem but I don't know how old it is. Josh, also from Lamiglas, suggested that it is one of your "Granite" blanks. Can you confirm and tell what line wt. it is by the length?

Jeff
