I hope you like the pics..

Very tastefully done. Exquisite collection.
Any story on the head mount of the hound?
What are the large gray and white birds hanging upside-down?

Pretty interesting pics Dina, I always like looking on older pics from different era than we live in. Also interested in the hound, maybe got killed by the bear?

Also, in the pic above the 3 mounted Alpine Gemsbock, in the bottom right, below the Cape Buff flanking the Springbock, do you know what animal they are? Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Dog died when he saved the life of Von Spiess.
@Sgraves155
bird is a DROPIE(romanian name) or Otis tarda(latin name). Unfortunatelly, now all those magnificent birds are gone.
@ Dom
I am sorry, I have no ideea what animal are they... All I can say it is an african animal)

It's definitely a hartebeest, probably a Swayne's.

Thanks B.Martins, now that I look at them again, yes I see they are some type of Hartebeest. Just look a bit 'crookeder' than what I've seen!

Dom,
trophies are from the 1930s. Maybe therefore...

Very cool, George! Thanks for sharing.
