Skull plate and horns from an estate

[darcytribe]

Howdy,

I purchased the horns from an estate auction. They were mounted on a wood plaque that had info on the back about the harvest. It stated the sheep was harvested in Alaska in 1977. The horns have no ID “plug” in them. Do does anyone know if it is legal to sell these to someone?

Also, is there any a market for sheep horns? Thanks!

I think amnesia must be setting in. I asked this same question on this forum 10 years ago and had already got an answer! I guess it’s time to make a doctors appointment

I was wondering what the fur traders sale is that was referred to in that previous thread? https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/is-it-legal-to-sell-dall-sheep-horns.61971/ “annual fur and horn auction”?

Remove the horns from the skull plate and you can legally sell them. It's illegal to sell a "trophy" without special permission from the state. I may know of someone that will buy them for custom pistol grips. pm me if you want and I could connect you with them.

I sold/traded a set from a small ram I shot years ago. I did a euro mount, had it for a while then made the sale/trade and had the Ram memorialized on my custom 500 Linebaugh revolver.

Very nice single action! Who built it for you?

John Gallagher (RIP) did the initial build and also made the octagon barrel. He used to make them for Hamilton Bowen. This particular barrel was made by Gallagher and sold as a donation/fundraiser years ago for John Linebaugh after some heart issues. John Linebaugh died this past year. After a few years I sent it back to Gallagher for some things and during that time the cancer got him. Bowen was a good friend of JG's and finished up some work for him including reassembling and bluing this gun. Rob Rowen who studied under Roy Fishpaw did the custom grips. So it ended up being a Gallagher, Bowen, Rowen gun. I took a meat bull moose with it the first year I got it back. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago.
