No thanks! I'll pass.

That would look great with my bald eagle feathered bonnet. Seriously? A foot? What happened to exploiting nations for precious metals instead of feet.

This was my grandfather's (and perhaps his father's towards the end of his life). It's sterling mounted with a sterling stud.

So, if I hypothetically had a scrimshawed sperm whale tooth from a hypothetical whaling ancestor from the 1840's, it would be subject to seizure?! Tyranny! Oppression!! Utter nonsense!!!

Nobody said that. What's prohibited is the trade and movement of pre and post-ban items across international borders.

I can remember as a young-un, squirrel tails attached to auto antennas, and key chains, watch fobs and the like with rabbit's feet (for luck). I put all of these, and "full mask" sporrans in the same category of trophy heads in the den. Not at all to my taste. Wonder how a shrunken head sporran would go over?
