Hello, I just bought an amazing specimen African Lion Male Lion Rug with large mane. This lion was shipped from african where my business partners father killed it in 1976 he had it done at Jonas Brothers In NY. I wanted it since I was a teenager and he finally offered it up for 1500$ I have been told these old rugs were done with arsenic, my main concern is health for my pets and I are my dogs and I save to lay on or near these types of old taxidermy and how can I keep the rug in the amazing condition it is in. Also he is looking to sell more of his trophy's primarily a Moose head 65-70 inches, caribou and possible a 10 foot brown bear standing upright. Any information is greatly appreciated guys. Thanks
 
Anthony you should private mail Denis at Artistry of Wildlife Taxidermy! I'm sure he can advise you.
 
Shard a picture of the rug when you can
 
You could mount it to the wall or off the ground level

PICTURES?????
 
I agree with the pictures!!!!! Number one!
But I am concerned with the grammar in you post.
For being 28. You should be able to communicate better in a situation like this in English.
I would be concerned about the part of my family that are on four legs also. But isn't what you said.

Fat fingers typing quickly and auto correct spelling programs often leave the impression that one doesn't understand basic grammar on this forum......myself included. We all make those simple mistakes when posting quickly.
You might want to check your own post for errors.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
