"Black Grouse Cock – Tail feathers
I sell only tail feathers from young Black Grouse cocks to fly tyers. All others are advance ordered by the Austrians. The white feathers from the lower rump are suitable for the wings for different dry-flies, and the black ones for wet-flies. The oldest Black Grouse cock tails are much more expensive than the youngest, and are in the most perfect shape of al. The best ones in whole Europe."
Price from: 200 SEK + Postage.
