Lion Taxidermy Head Mount

[vikaryan]

As you are aware, personally owned African lion hunting trophies may not be imported into Australia unless the specimen was from an animal that was deceased prior to 1977.

Does anyone have a trophy head of an African lion that was deceased prior to 1977?

Is anyone willing to sell?

Welcome to AH... that's a tough call... pre - 1977 lion.
I wonder HOW they would check/ prove that it was pre-1977?

Lollibros has an auction this week.

Page 1 of the Blue Tag Taxidermy sale has a lion head. Not a monster and not sure of the year shot.

Agreed.

This company does taxidermy sales multiple times per year. Prices for some items go pretty low.
