It could be exported but would be costly however I’m told there is a risk of confiscation due to different laws so was just hoping for a UK sale.

It's a nice piece! Are there any labels or markings attributing it to Van Ingen?

Yeah all stencilled serial and van ingen markings. Was told by a taxidermist it’s pre 1947 and is in amazing condition. I’ve just added a picture of the van ingen label.

probably a stupid question but where the ears?

You can see them there. They are folded back, like a pouncing pose.

Hi Edward as someone’s replied they are there, just in a snarling folded back position.

Do you know the history to it?

 

[WAJ]

I’ve got a similar tiger skin which is going for auction on the 8/12/21 in the U.K.
The expert said it is in extraordinary condition and it is VI & VI taxidermy. I have confirmation of the entry in their records from the number on the back of tiger skin.
It was killed in Pacharia in 1933 by the postman in my grandparents village who was working out there, and my grandad bought it off him.

I would love to have one of these if I could import it here in the US. I wonder if there is some grandfathered way if they were taken before a certain date?

I don’t know if the 1947 law is worldwide ? ‍
