One can easily see the stitched seam along the back of the neck. This mount at best would perhaps render a third place ribbon in competition. The base is plywood, veneer, I doubt that it is even oak. You can easily spot the seam where it has been pieced together. Look at the base near the brisket. The edge gives it away..it shows the middle of the plywood section, clearly...

Don't get me wrong, it will sell and it will draw a crowd on display, right up until folks find out it's a fake...Sell peanuts perhaps, but I'd rather see a well done spike instead..



I wonder what the reserve bid is?
