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.!?Last edited by outback; 02-23-2022 at 11:43 AM.

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.

Buongiorno Stefano,

You could also look (e.g. with a loupe) at the hair ends. A characteristic of boar brushes is that the individual hair end tends to split after some use into a small ‘Y’ or elongated ‘V’, giving the boar brush a softer quality.
If a large number of hair ends should look like this, you can take that as a confirmation that it is a boar brush.
Hope this helps.
Ciao,
