That is a very interesting way to pose for the trophy photo. It makes a very good image. Never seen one done like that.

he is american


So the point of repairing the bullet-busted tusk is moot...ivory is not importable into the USA. Correct?


You would be surprised what a bit of dentistry can do - same type of dental cement and cosmetics
will bring it back to almost perfect.

Maybe you can find out if it indeed weighs about 9 1/2 pounds. It sure doesn't look like a 11 1/2 pound clunker.

And the butt stock looks somewhat straighter than the off-the-shelf DR today, but that indeed could be deceiving in the photo.

So go find out!!


Will,

I talked to Len today he says that rifle weighs 10 Lbs 11 ounces.
