NAFA Fur Grades

[pappyp]

Does anybody know where I can find the fur grade chart for NAFA? I see my furs posted for the sale coming up but I don't know what the letters mean under the grade of my fur. Just wanted to know what they graded my fur as :confused:.

CVN, did you see Carrier on KET recently? Was it great or what?

What does SDG and DGD mean?:confused:

Slight damage and damaged. Beaver this is common but sdg still is good.

Thanks kytrapper and everyone else. I just found the hand out I got from Jimmy at the spring meet and it has all the NAFA grades and other codes that I was woundering about. Now I see what all this means!

No, I didn't see it but I lived it for 20 years :D :D :D

NAFA may be a little tiighter with their grades but you are generally rewarded for the extra work.:)

I see reference to "leather".
They buy "green" hides or already tanned furs??

[CVN71 Ordnance]

They buy dried furs, usually a country buyer will buy them green. Tanning them yourself I don't think is profitable. Unless you sell on e-bay ;)

The skin side is called the leather side.
