A black bear should be fine. They were around and in Italy as far as I can tell, but if you got a smaller one that would be better.

Well
Sorry, I have no precise address, I just see some skins from "Russia" (I guess it could be rather former soviet Union or even caucase) arriving to westerner hobbysts, or napoleonian reenactors, leather crafters.
Brown bear (Ursus arctos) is annex II on CITES. That means legal papers are required to travel (even to go to a roman event in a foreign country), no forbiding for what I can know.
Wolf skins are easier to get anyway...

Quote:This is the reason why I'd certainly settle for a brown coloured Ursus americanus . I don't think they are under CITES.
Well, it's a definite possibility. :wink:
