Received my euro's and zebra rug from South Africa a few months ago. My office is quickly filling up. Went with a taxidermist in RSA for the work and found the quality definitely less than what I've received from my taxidermist here in the states. Price was great, but quality was commensurate.

Looks great. What was wrong with the quality after all you cant get much wrong with a European skull mount ?

Thank you, gentlemen. Certainly some room left to fill, but not much!
Charlie: The wood plaques are pretty lacking in their finish (very matte, very open grain wood, not well finished edges) and the finished skulls are rougher than what I've experienced stateside. Most are missing greater than half of the teeth. None of this detracts from the memory of the hunt, nor really from the aesthetics of the room, but starkly different from one taxidermist's work to another's.
