Hi gents,

I found a Plisson rebranded brush that looks exactly like the "real Plissons" with only one difference - there isn't the Plisson sticker.
I know that Plisson made brushes for other brands, so this looks like the case, although I can't find any brand anywhere. The only information I have was that this was forgotten somewhere in the shelves of a drugstore since the 90's. Appart from that, there's the "Pur Blaireau" sticker, just like Plisson's and in the base of the case, there's the following text:

REF.659/3
(barcode)
3471880006593
BLAIREAU T10
MONTURE PLEXIGLASS

So, the "T10", seems to be "Taille 10", which means "Size 10". Apparently Plisson used the same size scale in the other brands they used to make.
The barcode reveals that this was made in France.
What kind of hair is this? According to the "Pur Blaireau" text, it's badger hair. What grade? I don't know. The tips are white/light gray, as you can see in the 3rd photo. Could it be the "Gray" badger? I'm expert on Semogue brushes, not Plisson's, sorry. :001_tongu
The handle is 44m tall, the knot is 22m in diameter and 53m tall.

Asking 60 Euros shipped worldwide with tracking number.

Thanks.

I suppose this can have a particular interest to the Plisson collectors.

Seems to be a lower grade Plisson as the hair looks cut into shape.
