My thinking would be that it is hair from a deer that is still in velvet, in
short, we would call it from a juvenile..not necessarily from the velvet of
the antlers. But, I'm no German expert as it is my second language. Joyce
Well, it says Hirsch-Kolben Haar, which should mean 'hair from the velvet-antler of a deer'; Kolben-Hirsch Haar would have indicated 'hair from a deer that is in velvet antler [stage]'. But as said, antler-velvet hair seems a bit outlandish to me anyway. From what little I know of deer, the hair on the antler-velvet is extremely short, and probably not all that durable either...
