Default Fur/Hair ID help req'd
Please.
Rummaging around in my Fly Tying Hair/Fur Drawer recently I came across two unlabelled items and am wondering what they might be.

No1.

Click the image to open in full size.

No2.

Click the image to open in full size.

Click the image to open in full size.

The only clue if it is a clue that I can give is that both items were given to me from a friend who was an amateur tyer who is no longer with us. So the items might not necessarily be available now.

Any help/direction would be appreciated.

Cheers

I'll go with dyed fox fur, it might be a home-dyed one though as I don't recall ever seeing dyed fox in any catalogue.
