A while back we had posts on replica tusks & some head mounts, I posted some photos but can’t find it now.

A friend sent me some photos of even more awesome artificial mounts, actually better than most mounts made form real animal parts !

So if you did a hunt for a non exportable animal these are a fantastic idea, along with the replica skulls some companies do, unfortunately I haven’t seen these in the flesh so to speak.

Has anyone here had a replica skull made up for there Lion or such ?

I have a friend that had a reproduction of his non exportable lion. It’s truly an incredible piece. Kanati did his.
 
These are from Animal Replicas, would love to see them up close in real life !

I think these are the ones I posted before & if you look real hard you can see the joins around the noses !

A pity but I think if their took just a little more care it would be near perfect ?

Yes Kanati is also very good & I posted them up last time, they are known to carter to hunters as well, some of these others maybe completely anti hunting but seeings as they did a full rug it sort of points towards trophies ?
 
Kanati Studios specializes in reproduction mounts and traditional taxidermy. They attend SCI and DSC every year. Their reproductions are awesome.
Any idea of a price? Male lion shoulder mount for example since there’s a nice photo posted above.
 
Last time I got a quote (lion or lioness) for a pedestal mount was a tad over $ 10,000 usd.
These guys might be a little better pricing but I see it’s a German-Israeli team ?

No sir, I don’t recall the price. However I recall that it was more expensive than a real mount.
 
Another thing to note. They take great pains to make them look exactly like the animal that you shot. Not just some generic example of a lion. They do a variety of big game animals, including elephant, rhino hippo, etc. They are very realistic.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
