Thanks guys, it is a pattern I found in "Year of the Spider" by Philip Storey and tied a bit more robust. I think he says it is a Pritt pattern "Cinnamon".

I believe the green collar is peacock herl. Is that correct Carl?

Is the body seal fur?

That is such a stylish pattern, with nice sweeping lines. You’ve really got a gift with these old patterns Tom.

Yes, some nice bronze peacock sent to me a couple years back by a NZ friend.

That's a beautiful Invicta! That winged wet is very effective. Even better is the silver tinsel body version. Well done.
