SW 2 piece reel seat

I bought a a 30 to 80 lb Garcia Conolon cheap to restore. It has a 2 piece stainless reel seat that I'd like to replace. The rod butt ends in the male section of the ferrule and a wooden handle is inserted into the thread section of the seat. I've looked around for a similar seat with no luck. I'm not really sure of the proper terminology, is it 2 piece saltwater RS or a saltwater ferrule RS? Maybe it's just old and obsolete.

I repaired one by Heating the Seat to remove the Wooden butt, replaced it with an Alum tube and a Slick butt. or you could use hypolon or eva or cork tape
