This giant old Black Bear skull comes from an older collection, and is in very fragile condition. Measures 13" x 7.25" (using calipers at longest and broadest points). I'm no expert in trophies, but it might even make the record books!
It was cleaned and whitened, and is in flaky condition. It was covered in a light layer of varnish, some of which is worn off. The upper right canine in missing (there are pathological signs of infection around the missing tooth), while the remaining canines are severely worn. One upper incisor appears to have naturally migrated to fill in the space of a missing one. The upper cranium is cracked and re-glued, and there is bone missing on the left side and underneath. The lower jaw is intact, but two lower incisors are missing.
This skull will require extra care when handling due to the bone condition, but if you don't mind that, and like quirky old bears, this is for you!
