HMG Fenwick Graphite Rod

My buddy showed me a Fenwick HMG Graphite 4 WT. fly rod he bought about 30 years ago. He never used it and it's new. I cast it in the yard and it really feels great. Can these be found any more? The numbers on the rod are: HMG 4 WtT. GFF 704-2, 2 1/2oz., AFPMA Line No. 4. Is there a blank similar to this old model?

Fenwick ceased to operate as a sole entity in the early to mid 1990's. They have been a part of a larger holding group since that time and have not offered blanks for sale.

The original HMG series (grey) and later (burgundy-brown) were excellent blanks and still make fine fishing rods. If you can find them, that is.
