Does anyone know where this fly is first recorded, and where it comes
from?

Veniard has versions of it in both volumes of the Fly Dresser's Guide,
but Courtney Williams doesn't appear to mention it. It's often referred
to as a British fly that became particularly popular in N. America.

Also, how authentic is the GP tippet tail?

It's mentioned in "Forgotten Flies" and is shown with the GP tail.

The source mentions J. E. Leonard "Flies". 1950, 1982 p. 266
