Here's a picture of the famous Black Rhino 'Gertie' of Kenya's Amboseli National Park, that's before her horn dropped off in the 1960s.

Weird how a non-zoo animal can grow such a distended horn without it getting broken or something.
 
Regrettably her horn did become detached :(

I wonder where the horn went, is it with the warden's family or possibly the ranger station ??

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
A wonderful trip to Hungary with a very special friend !
