Beauty!

Ron, your new handle drives me nuts. Keep thinking its a new person to the forum.

That is a beauty. French partridge does make one of the more springy looking hackles. This looks like a good one.

If it is old 6B then it is Sherry spinner. You could call this cinnamon since it is in the same ballpark. Phil Holding (Fly Tying Boutique) cooperated with Langley to reproduce some of the old shades. I don't remember whether this was one of them.

That looks to be a spool of "modern" (plastic spool) of Pearsall's 6b Sherry Spinner.
