Not altogether sure but the Taxidermy forum seemed the appropriate place for this note.

August of 2023 I was fortunate enough to take a Cape Buffalo bull with my bow. The PH talked me into keeping the cannon bones from the front legs along with the usual cape and horns. I had some ideas for carvings on the bones but initially had little luck finding an artist interested in the project. After a year and a half of semi serious searching I did find an artist and today received the results. I have two identical mounts of the carved bones on a wood plaque as seen in the attached photo. The carving is a copy of the emblem used on all the PH's documentation and advertising. I will keep one of the bone mounts to display with my buffalo shoulder mount and send the other to the PH.
Anyone interested in such artistic bone carving is welcome to contact me for the artist's name and contact information. He is located in the Houston TX area.

cool! I didn't really have an exact plan, but intended to bring some bone back, just forgot to remind my PH. Next time for sure. I think a carving like that makes a nice keepsake.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
