In one of my tying club's supply of materials we have a nice section of condor quill, still in the suppler's original packaging. There it will remain. No polar bear however.

No idea Dave. I buy the peacock eye feathers almost anywhere I see them if I find the right coloration for stripped quills. The extras that are not right for stripping go into the herl collection. Any flyshop, J Stockard, FF Paradise, etc. should have them. Don't use the craft store stuff. Its too dry and brittle.
