Sorry I won't be taking more pictures until after the breeding season. I only took pictures of this one because I have him spare. I thought he was a hen until he started whistling in anger at his intended mate.
Here is the standard:

On the original topic, at a bird club meeting recently, some North Dutch Frills were being offered for $70 for unsexed stock and $160 for breeding pairs.
Seemed very cheap to me but I really only have gumtree prices to compare that to. Of course breeders don't usually sell unsexed stock so I assume a breeder is getting out of them.

I suppose this is slightly off topic but last I looked at Gumtree, I could pay a scammer $750 for a pair of Hyacinth macaws !!! I don't use Gumtree so I'm sure that was an aberration.

Hi crocnshas,
Silver Agate (White Dilute) is a blue but with the dilute trait added to it. Dilute makes the bird look paler compared to an ordinary blue like the blue Norwich below:
I cross blue variegates to clear yellows which often produces some clear whites. It's possible your dad was working with recessive white which some consider to be extinct in Australia nowdays.
Regards
