Finding some rare tying material gets a fly tyer all excited. I have read most
of the posts regarding the polar bear. Many are interested in purchasing some
of it. I am not trying to insinuate that Harmon did not win the tying material
lottery but I have not seen any posts asking about the condition of the hair.
There used to be a furrier in Vancouver and I purchased a lot of polar bear
from them over the years and one thing you must look for are split ends on the
hair. Secondly if the hide is quite old the hair may be very brittle unless it
was well cared for . Finding a polar bear hide is not common but the quality of
the hair may not make it suitable for resale.
Just food for thought

I should have said selling (except to US) as I am aware of the regulations.
