    I've seen a badgers foot and part of the fur that looked good.

    Aw, man, if my bank account weren't empty right now I'd actually sign up for ebay for that. Looks great.

    Remember CITES and Marine Mammal Protection act. It might or might not make it to you these days.

    I've spent too much time in rivers observing the little fellas to ever want to wear a part of them...can't understand what the appeal of such an item would be...

    Somewhere there is a very old, very peeved otter with a limp ...
    Not to my tastes, either, but to each his own.
    O'Neille does raise a valid point, though - anybody in the U.S. at least who thinks about buying this should consider the possibility that US Fish and Wildlife Service will seize it.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think an antique item would be subject to any seizure....

    I agree and I also have difficulty with sporrans that have heads on them. Each to their own but I wouldn't wear one.

    Well, I've seen Fish and Wildlife seize two hundred-year-old ivory scrimshaw, so age doesn't appear to be a factor ...
