Tucked inside a late Victorian Army & Navy wallet were this envelopes which all contain unused, fully dressed, gut eye Salmon flies.

All of the envelopes are marked with the content with each one and they all correspond.

And with these Jock Scott Salmon flies actually photographed against an Army & Navy catalogue from 1891, the likeness and the accuracy is outstanding.
Finding Victorian examples in this unused condition and with their corresponding trade envelopes is a great find.
