    Does anyone have a good source for buying quality Australian Opossum fur?

    I was looking for some nice size pieces in different natural color tones. I bought a small package from a shop that came from Rumpf, but they are really small fur pieces. It makes a great buggy looking body for soft hackles, etc..

    I ended up buying some on eBay last night when I got back in town. Hopefully it is in several natural colors as stated on the seller’s page.

    Wapsi offers it but they don’t give any color options or how big the small vs large size are.

    I received yesterday a nice selection of various colors and textures of Australian Opossum that I ordered on eBay. Makes really nice impressionistic bodies for soft hackles and dubbing for nymphs.
