Pondoro Taylor ...His rifle is still doing its thing !!!

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

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

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.
