I have inherited many beatiful trophies that were mounted in the late 60's and are in excellent condition. 2 Indian leopard rugs and one Kenya leopard all nearly 7ft head to tail. 2 HUGE Elephant tusks 71 & 82 lbs!!! A monster 48' wide Cape Buffalo shoulder mount alond with several other plains game. Who would I go to to find what these are worth so I can have them covered under my insurance?? | ||

Contact Dennis Harris of the Artistry of Wildlife. He in the membership listing. I would have the skins examined to make sure they are bug proof. You don't want to bring an infestation into your home.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

The man you need to contact is Jack Jonas. He is a professional taxidermy appraiser whose appraisals will hold up much better in any legal arena than a taxidermists opinion. I am often asked to place value on old taxidermy rugs and even though I have been in the industry 20 years, this is not my field of expertise. Jack has backed up his appraisals in court when necessary. I believe this is your go to guy for this task. Here is his contact info: Jack Jonas 13952 E. Marina Dr. #604 Aurora, Colorado 80014 303-283-9212 303-283-9211 Kindest regards, Mary Taxidermist/Rugmaker | |||

for what i know the price of Legal ("pre ban", like your) Ivory (tusk, not piece) some time ago was about in 50-60 usd/lbs. Bigger tusks pay more. I think your set can go for 7-10000 USD. D.V.M. | |||
