Jerry,
I am a taxidermist turned woodcarver so I can answer that question. Van Dyke Taxidermy in the states have the best eyes I have ever used I get mine from them whenever I need them.

Hi Jerry, Colin is correct as I was referred to them by another taxidermist also & the ones available now are so amazing in detail they look like the real thing.
Thanks, Robbin
