Firt is definitly a BBW (but not a Lorraine Rouge, Goldfisch, Salm Rouge)
Second is hindostan\hindustan-type sandstone.
Never heard about yellow turkey.
UPD: there http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...ml#post1481795 and the next pages is more info about hindostan identificationLast edited by Botanic; 04-14-2015 at 07:24 PM.
