A Kolinsky sable rigger/liner for long, fluid lines and precise detail.
No direct source text for Series 771 surfaced in the search results, but Rosemary identifies it as a Kolinsky sable rigger/liner in the short-handle format. On that basis, it belongs to the premium natural-hair detail class: a brush chosen when point retention, paint capacity, and a smooth release matter more than cost or durability. Kolinsky sable riggers are prized for a fine needle point and a long, controlled line, making them a step up from synthetic riggers when the painter wants more fluidity and a softer, more natural delivery. Compared with a synthetic liner, it should feel less springy and more elastic, with better paint loading and a more graceful taper. That makes it especially attractive to watercolourists, illustrators, and miniature painters who work with delicate freehand details. [inferred]
What makes this brush special
A sable rigger feels supple but precise. It bends with the stroke, then gathers back to a narrow point, giving a more flowing response than a synthetic liner. The belly should hold enough paint for several fine strokes, which helps with long lines and continuous marks. The best versions feel almost liquid in movement, but still disciplined enough to avoid wandering. [inferred]

Brush sizes are not standardised across brands — a Size 1 from one maker may differ from another. These brushes are handcrafted, so individual dimensions may vary by 1–2 mm.
How we measure a brushA visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
Tuft Length
The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
Belly Diameter
The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
Total Length
The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
Clean sable brushes gently with lukewarm water and a mild brush soap after use, taking care not to scrub the tip. Reshape the point and never leave it standing in water, because that bends the hairs and can deform the ferrule area. Use brush soap periodically to keep the natural oils from drying out the hair. Store flat or upright with the tip protected; with sable, careful drying and shaping matter more than with synthetics. [inferred]
