Now I think I have seen almost everything. Todays afternoon I visited at local flea market store. I was looking some clothes when I heard a discussion between a man and woman. It went like: "What´s this? Looks like some animals skin. What animal ? So I turned around and saw these people looking a skin hanging on perch. It was quite big, wallnut coloured and fur was quite long. I watched it more carefully and then I noticed nails. They were quite long, a little curved and coloured dark brown. Then I looked the area where animals head wuold be. When seeing those small round ears I was sure. It is a bear, quite small but a real thing. Furs colour doesn´t look like ordinary bear use to have here in Finland so I think this has been shot in Russia (maybe) and then carried to Finland. Then I looked the paper tag where the price seems to be. I read 280€. IMO not so much.
Last time when I saw bear skinn as near, was maybe forty years ago. It hanged on the railing of local souvenir shop. That one was much bigger and very dark coloured.
