I suggest you look on line to see what they are selling for.

To get your best value, i do believe that you will need to find an artisan who will have the equipment to make items out of them.

 

[capebuf]

Well they are for sale so if anyone wants a set or whatever offer me a reasonable price Thanks........

 

[richteb]

Maybe put them on eBay?

 

[capebuf]

I dont like ebay....

 

[James.Grage]

Post your pictures to start with...

Your tusks with a ruler showing length would be great...

are the tusks trimmed to remove the nerve root base or is that part of the total length.

What is the circumference of each tusk?

 

[capebuf]

I dont have a digital camera to post photos,they are hollowed out and the lengths are from top to bottom from the outside not the iner,two have wax inside.They are in great shape.

 

[capebuf]

The circumference averages are from 4 1/4" down to 2".

Hi there,

I'm sure if you are based outside of Africa you should find some buyer in your area if you google around for some artisans and knife makers etc.... However if you are based in Africa nobody would buy them off you and they will be probably be more worth to you in a sentimental way of value.. Take your time check around you may get some dollars for them if you find the right person there you will be surprised who needs those ! cheers Owen

 

[capebuf]

I will sell them all for $275 shipped or best offer.

Knife makers might be able to use your stock.

I think you are asking too much. these are available in the US at 1/4 the price.

Good for you.

Wish they were wide enough to make revolver grips for, I would saw up one of my pairs.

I think @sestoppelman wished the Wart Hog tusks were bigger & I was going to post maybe just get a smaller revolver ?
