I gave away all my Metz, so I can't help you there. But I do know the ALL breeders have improved vastly in quality.

OK DonO, Byard, Joyce...and the rest of the elite Now I've tied a few with this new neck...niiiice with some quality in the hackle pliers again. As I said before, a few years have passed since I had it before. The feeling of it quickly came back though...but I have to ask something. Are the stems on these Whiting feathers thinner than the ones from the Metz necks, or have the Metz ones improved this much too...or is it just me sitting comparing with the indian ones again??? //Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r William Bailey Skickat: den 21 maj 2004 18:09 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: RE: [VFB] Finally!!! Don, What time of year is the selection of capes at its best? Are visitors welcome at the farm? Bill Nick, When I visit the farm, I always make a point to go through ALL the bins, Platinum, gold, silver, and bronze. I find excellent underrated, thus less expensive, pelts in the low bins that were derated because of some non-tying flaw. My best SCB's (Speckled Champagne Badgers- or 'flecked') are silver and bronze grades, because of feather count. DOnO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
