Hi Jerry
After I posted this I searched the internet and other than the thick light 
fibrous husk the nut shows no sign of Carpathian traits.There are other 
trees in the area I planted the
hybrid seedlings so I'll start checking the nuts from them.
Thanks
Keith

Kincaid  Illinois is a few miles west of Taylorville Illinois where I was a
veterinarian. It was created as a coal mining town where a large portion
of  the miners were Italian immigrants.
One of my clients of Italian extraction  had a large Carpathian walnut in
her yard with many dogs.Knowing my interests  she shared several nuts with
me. When they germinated
they produced what  appeared to be a black walnut seedlings that I planted.
I’m a very poor record  keeper but I have a tree thirty or more years later
that produces a pear  shape
husk that a appears more fibrous and organized than other black  walnuts
and produced a nut that cracks somewhat easier than the run of the  mill.Not
dry enough to evaluate.
I think at one time the USDA had walnut  hybrid station that was terminated
due to lack of  success.
