The owner or who ever gave you the blank has to know some thing about it
Ask him Too many questions to list here
freshwater Salt
Fish - line - lure - bla - bla
maybe some one has a catalog to find out what it is used for I did some searching but could not find any thing

Check the Lamiglas website for more information. If that blank is no longer listed, a quick email to them should result in an answer.

Their link is to the left in the sponsor column.

Back in the late 70's the Lamiglas blank catalogs had designations as you discribe. Sorry I no longer have those catalogs.

If you can find a builder that has the CCS set up it can be measured to figure out what the possible line and lure weight and power of the blank

Or
You can tape some guides on the blank and go outside Cast several weighted lures and see what it can handle
You can measure the butt OD and tip and look around to see what may be similar But it being so old ???

Might take a bunch of pennies to measure this medium power saltwater blank. Had to measure a few Batson SW blanks for a customer, everything started at $5.00+.
