Has anyone had a giraffe tanned there and then shipped over to the USA to mount? I think I read somewhere guys doing this over doing standard dip and pack because it cuts down weight on shipping and cuts the cost of tannery in the USA? Any feedback on that?
 
Tanned there is my understanding as well, particularly because th tanneries there have more experience and produce a better finished product. I have seen where one tannery here would not accept whole giraffe skins that had been salted and shipped
 
The lower legs are solid bone.
I’m having mine sent back people use them to make bone handles scrimshaw and other stuff.
Or maybe I’ll just put one on the mantle tell all the kids it’s a dinosaur bone.

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
