Pflueger.jpg
I have a Pflueger Trump No. 1943 Reel and I notice that it is a little different then most Pflueger Trump No. 1943 Reels. It does not have the jeweled end caps and no anti-lash knob. Is older or newer? Is there a Pflueger dating chart available so that I can find out its date of manufacture?
AnswerKen
I believe your reel is a later (newer) model, when they were cutting cost on the reel caps and features.
I am going to recommend a website dedicated to old fishing reels that will help you further date it:

On the right side of the home page is a button for REEL TALK, this takes you to the bulletin board.
