A Rare Dealer’s Sample Reel with the schematic code revealing that this reel was produced in 2000.
Though this is the only Sample Ambassadeur 2500C IAR I have ever seen (other than the Dealer’s SAMPLE Frame shared in Post-1985 Small Ambassadeur Frames), some Sample Ambassadeur Reels of Size 5000 and above do popped up once in a while, though not frequent.Introduced during the Mamiya OP era (1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000), this model is one of her Best Seller. It is also because of her demand, Pure Fishing continued the production of these beauties after they took over. The production of the Ambassadeur 2500C IAR continued until 2003, with the frames and footnumbers from 2002.Minor change in some parts with the revision indicated in this schematic diagram.
