Giraffe taxidermy and alternatives

Looks like a euro mount to me, whats the dif?
 
Thanks Jerome.
Here's an example of a Euro mount for you. (Was a young Giraffe though). We actually do quite a lot of Euro mounts with Giraffe skulls for our clients. I would say 70% of those who have the cape made into a shoulder mount get a Euro Mount done with their skull as well.

Welcome to AH @Silke Bean.

Can you share any other examples of giraffe items your taxidermy shop makes?
 
Anyone wall mount one? Id really like to do this over a set of stairs and have it come more eye level on second level.

This is how I had my giraffe mounted.

Thanks for this! I am thinking very seriously of braving the wrath of my wife and going for a giraffe in June.
 
Go for it, they are fun to hunt. And seeing one fall is something else.
 
I would definitely try for one if you can, I didn't get to see mine fall. Going have to fix that in future.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
