Replica ivory tusks

I have tusks at Collette's as well. They are done and just waiting on shipment right now. They were excellent in communications. Will post pics when they arrive. Mine was from Zim as well taken with CM safaris. The cost was very similar to what Don posted above
 
How long was the wait at Collette's?
 
Who has used this service and can you share photos and anything you learned from doing it? I'm considering that as an option for a hunt next month as it could take a long time to get ivory imported. Who would you recommend for making these? I will be hunting in Zim.
after reading, seeing and investigation i will be using Collett’s for my elephant tusks this April. they seem to be the best in my opinion.
 
Does anyone used someone in Namibia for making replicas or knows a taxidermist in Namibia that makes replicas?
 
I got replicas done as we can’t import elephant products into Oz. Mine aren’t a direct mold of my tusks but similar weight and finished to replicate mine from pics.

I just had some made at Kings Taxidermy in Okovorongo. They also did my mounts

Love your bantengs!

In my research Collets in Bulawayo is the best. their replicas can match your bulls exact weight per side complete with Ivory number stamps on each tusk. That is who I am using from my hunt in Zim this past week

Thanks. Do you have a picture and what kind of replica do they make, fiberglass? If you want you could also shoot me a DM.

Looking for some options for next year.
 
Can you provide us your costs please? I just dropped mine off there and it would be of great help. Thanks!!!
Agreed...it would be great for several of us to see the costs if you don't mind sharing. Thanks. This is also a great way to capture the memory of non-trophy ivory.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
