Life-size Cape Buffalo skull sculpture, which is shown here in clay, with Susan putting

on the last finishing touches before it is cast in bronze.

John Rigby and Company, the oldest gunmaker in the english speaking world,

donated this sculpture, along with Rigby's best boxlock double rifle in .470 Nitro Express, to Safari Club International's annual auction in Reno, Nevada this past January 2009.

The bronze skull displayed the rifle in the massive horns.
