A+ Grade Atypical Fallow Buck 'Dama Dama’ Skull with Mandibles
This buck is a great example of how a sick or injured deer will not put energy into growing a good set of antlers. This particular deer had a broken leg, which was injured for a long while as the hoove’s sheath on the injured leg had overgrown & became very long from extended periods of lack of use. He had not grown any Brow or secondary tines at all, just straight antlers with small palms almost just huge spikes.
*A+ Grade specimens are considered museum-quality and are in excellent anatomical condition. Dentition is complete, nasal turbinates are intact, and bone quality is exceptional. Specimens are anatomically complete with no damage present.
Any minor imperfections, if present, are the result of natural processes during the animal’s life, such as naturally lost or slightly chipped teeth where evidence of bone healing is visible, or healed injuries sustained prior to death.
All A+ Grade specimens have been professionally macerated, fully degreased, whitened, and carefully articulated using high-quality adhesives to ensure structural integrity and long-term preservation.
