Unique feathers from a special breed of cockerel.
Used in continental europe for generations. Best known as a tailing material, it is also used as a hackle and/or winging material in its original home area.
These feathers are very shiny, far more so than conventional hackles, adding an extra natural sparkle when used as either tail wisps or as a component in the wing.
The fine distinctive markings on these feathers is almost unique, it is a mottle rather than a barring best described by G.E.M. Skues as spangled, varying from black with variants of cream through a range of browns to a rich rust.
