That old Zulu magic, shame about the nose and the ear are a bit flaky too.

Lew,

I am sending the rubbish one back. The money will pay for this one, buy it now offer. The seller says it weighs 3/4 of a Kilo 750g? That must make it a club? 36" long.

Default HORNS

THE ONLY LONG STRAIGHT HORNS WITH A LARGE SOLID TIP I KNOW OF IS THE GEMSBOK THE SOUTHERN ONES HAVING THE LONGEST HORNS. THE HORNS RANGE FROM 60 TO 150 CM. LONG AND ARE HOLLOW AT THE BASE BUT HAVE A LONG SOLID TIP. THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS TO GET AROUND AS THEY WILL USE THEIR HORNS TO STAB YOU AND ARE VERY FAST. PREDATORS DO HUNT THEM BUT ARE PROBABLY VERY CAREFUL WHEN TRYING FOR A HEALTHY ADULT THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO APROACH CLOSELY WHEN HUNTING ESPECIALLY WHEN WOUNDED. THE HORNS ARE SOMETIMES USED IN MAKING SPEARS AND OTHER ITEMS BY SOME TRIBES.
