I'm curious. If I legally harvest a buffalo and a hippo in Zimbabwe and I have a legal T-2 form from the government, can I sell or barter the green hides in country?

If so, what would green hides for buffalo and hippo be worth roughly? I was contemplating (if I can validate the legalities) bartering a salted hippo and buffalo hide for finished leather goods but I don't know what the value of a salted hide would be worth? I'm assuming its worth a reasonable amount but not a great sum?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
