1701 is the brown ivory ownership certificate issued by Dpt National Parks in Zimbabwe and entered in the Parks Ivory register, hope this helps

I think Anton already knew that, and he was just using this thread to brag.

No doubt. 14 also means that you are one lucky SOB. But the bragging rights are reduced.
