Question Dressing for Executioner

Has anybody got a dressing for The Executioner?
Can't find any online and Stan's book gives a yellow cock fiber tail, but I am sure I have seen it tied with GP crest.

Cheers
Billy

Is this it?

The Executioner :
Tail - Golden Pheasant Crest
Butt - Thin flat silver tinsel with an inner butt of red floss (no more than 3 / 4 turns)
Body - Flat silver tinsel
Ribbing - Thin Oval Tinsel
Throat - Black squirrel tied as underwing style
Wing - Black squirrel or goat hair
Head - Red varnish with jungle cock cheeks

I didn't realise it was a Silver Stoat variant, or so it says in Successful Modern Salmon Flies by Mackenzie-Philps. The picture in the book shows the body as oval silver.

Thanks for the replies, that sounds like the fly I remember Fishtales.

You'll have to give me some tips on googling Hobble, all I could find were a range of very different looking flys for sale, no dressings
