Original material
As written in the book:
BODY. Red Berlin wool (brick colour).
RIBS. Gold from far side, silver tinsel (narrow) from near side, wound the reverse way an equal distance apart.
HACKLE. A red Spey-cock hackle from end of body, but wound in the usual direction from the root instead of from the point, thus crossing over the ribs at each turn given.
THROAT. Teal, one turn only.
WINGS. Two strips of Mallard, showing brown points and light roots.
