Just to enquire from our good friend UK hunters or any others hunters or wildlife Xperts worldwide as to whether they know of any upcoming auction in London where some ele tusks from a famous hunter are going on auction !!

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

The tusks you mention are coming up ofr auction on the 7th Sep this year at Holts. I will be away atthe time but anyone can ring Holts and get a ticket for a viewing in the days prior to the auction. I think it is Mon/Tue for viewing and Thursday for the Sale.

I saw the tusks mounted at the viewing for the last sale as they were in the entryway and they are truly awesome in size. I'm 6ft and can stand and walk through their "arch" when they are tip to tip easily.

If anyone is going to see them then I would also reccomend that they take the time to go see the Kilamanjaro Elephant at the natural history museum, although they will not be able to get as close and touch the museum peice.

Tusks taken off Kilamanjaro Elephant!!

Back in the early 80's the Kilamonjaro Tusks were in a controlled climate area 3 floors down from the main floor. One saturday a very bored guard took me down to see them. I DID run my hand the entire length of that magnificent ivory.

Those two fellows look like midgets to me



Come on, spill the beans, exactly what ivory is coming up for sale.

A few years ago I had the pleasure of handling those tusks in a back room of the Natural History Museum in London - and I've gotta tell you they're BEEEAUTIFUL!!!!
