I was wondering if anyone could explain what the stamp on trophy elephant tusks means? I heard from my taxidermist that part of the stamp tells the weight of the tusk but they couldn't tell me any further info. thanks | ||

http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/te...n=div5#se50.9.23_174 See 23.74 in link: (2) African elephant (Loxodonta africana). The following provisions apply to the issuance and acceptance of U.S. and foreign documents for sport-hunted trophies of African elephant. The trophy ivory must be legibly marked by means of punch-dies, indelible ink, or other form of permanent marking, under a marking and registration system established by the country of origin, with the following formula: The country of origin represented by the corresponding two-letter ISO country code; the last two digits of the year in which the elephant was harvested for export; the serial number for the year in question; and the weight of the ivory in kilograms. The mark must be highlighted with a flash of color and placed on the lip mark area. The lip mark area is the area of a whole African elephant tusk where the tusk emerges from the skull and which is usually denoted by a prominent ring of staining on the tusk in its natural state.

I can't figure out how to post of pic of the stamp but its NA14 0136 1345. Its looks like a small tusk. It must be 13kg. It is definitely not 45kg. | |||

I'm thinking Namibia, 2014, Cities permit #136, 13kg I need to pull out my tusks to look at them. Mine were from Zim and I believe the stamp is similar. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I believe that is correct, country, year, CITES permit, weight in kilograms.  Mike | |||

Does each tusk have a separate cities number? Mine have ZW 2012 0036 21 on the left and ZW 2012 0035 16 on the right. Never noticed. | |||
