What Model is my Abu Garcia reel?

[dooma_Flatchy]

I have had this reel for a long long time and I need to replace the pawl in it, I do not know the model # to order the replacement parts. The only markings on the reel is Abu Garcia and made in Sweden. It's as good as my 5500 and 56oo reels.

I also believe it's a 5000 series. I thought 5000 series were red? Then agian I might be wrong...according to my wife I am all the time.

Not a 5000 because of the spool brake on the handle side and wrong color, but they made a lot of special variations in the 60s-80s and each special version was a different color and usually had a different gear ratio.

After 2 days of hound dogging the www. I finally found the model#. This reel is the 35th Anniversary Ambassadeur FIVE. The replacements parts for the worm gear and pawl is the same as the 5000, Go figure. I guess I've worn off the identifying markings. LOL. It's been a good one. I have had this since I started buying my own fishing equipment.
