Robert,
That's difficult to say. Brush makers tend to have their own categories of grading the hair used in the manufacture of their brushes.
I have seen what appear to be the same Vie-Long brush on different vendors' websites advertised as white badger on one and silvertip on the other. One vendor alleges that the Vie-Long white badger is comparable to the European white badger used by Plisson in their brushes, which is pretty high quality.
If there is a difference in the type of badger hair or the quality, I can't tell the difference. I'm so impressed with the one Vie-Long that I own, that I'm seriously thinking of getting another Vie-Long at some point. In fact, there is a sale on some Vie-Long brushes at one vendor right now. Shoot me a pm and I'll provide you with the url."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain
