There is a Silver Shadows (Gordon Plough 1969), 38", but it has
different coloring. Is violet with a white area around the beard and
center on the falls; the beard is white with each hair tipped nasturtium
red, deepening in heart. Sounds pretty, but not your white/silver with
yellow beard. Hmmm. You might ask your mom where she got the name.
Cheers, Barb
