Answer
Scott,
Sorry I am a US trout bamboo fly rod man. What you have there is UK and they are not in my books or knowledge, but here's  some ideas to continue your research:
you can e-mail InTheNetUK.com at
http://www.inthenetuk.com/pages/home.asp

Also try ebay especially ebay.uk

A UK bamboo rod book may be at the library:
Fishing Tackle: A Collector's Guide  Hardcover, 1991 Graham Turner


If you e-mail others may I recommend a more detailed description (please see the my all experts page where I give the following parameters)

http://www.allexperts.com/ep/1634-36866/Fishing/Rich-McGaughey.htm

complete description including the following:
Is it bamboo ? fly or casting rod ? check metal for id and patents ? What is it made of; bamboo ( flat sided) fiberglass or graphite ( round)? Weight in oz? What is the diameter of the rod above the cork? Where was it purchased ? What type of metal nickel-silver, tin, or chrome platted brass? A complete description of any logos or labels. Length of rod per section and number of sections. Total rod length. Reel seat is below or above the cork handle ?

Luck,
Mac
