    my guess would be that it's bristle. The hair looks a little course for badger.. Might still be a good useful brush though, some bristle is very soft.

    Yep...its pork. Soak it in a bit of warm water, before use.

    Just the tip, too the black line needs soaked, not the whole brush.

    You sure its nickle, and not silver plating.!?

    I agree. The hairs look a little course. Clean it up and give it a go.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    It looks like badger to me. Maybe very well worn and ratty looking. But I wouldn't bet on it.

    Cut a hair in the middle. If it has a holed center then it is badger.
