Hello Detlef,

The good thing by this is that when you want to sell it one day that there are no CITES prohibition on it by international trade!

Whoa, hold your horses!
Hippo sure is regulated: The common Hippo, Hippopotamus amphibius Linnaeus, 1758, is listed in Appendix II of the CITES convention. And some populations are even under stricter control.
While antiques *should* be exempt, the truth is you have to follow international and local legislation & regulations to the letter...
Regards,
Kai
