Hello folks, a friend of mine inherited a rather large collection from his father and we are trying to get a grasp on a rough estimate of what the goods are worth. Not trying to sell or anything. Just hoping to have an idea of what he has. Many, many thanks!

Im a collector with a very humble gathering of treasures, but I think my most treasured piece would have to be my arctic fox named kuflu, named such by the inupiak woman who gifted him to my. I have 1/2 of his hide too. Whats your most treasured piece?

Hi I have just acquired my first taxidermy (a pheasant) who I’m told is from the 80s. However upon inspection white dust keeps coming off from under the feathers when I was inspecting it and I’m worried is toxic/arsenic? It’s currently in my bedroom since I live at home and my parents don’t like it but any advice? The seller did say had previously been covered in plaster but I just want to know what more experience people would advise thanks since the dust is not on top of his feathers. Hes beautiful other than that. He was in postage for about a month or less in a box.

So my girlfriend bought this fox tail awhile back from depop and found these little things within the tail, we don’t know if it’s dirt or some kind of bug (we recently found a bug from the same seller unfortunately) so I’m just wondering if anyone here has any ideas what it could be
Me advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
