Sorry to disappoint but it 100% isn't a Gold. The span is no where near wide enough. Bronze is about right.

Thanks bud
Got really excited then

Watching with interest as have a couple near that stamp. Please get it measured and advise

Will await further expert input - but my humble guess would be high bronze.

Thanks fishboy
Will get it measured and see how I get on
Will let you all know

It's quite easy to measure yourself to get an idea. Happy to send an excel spread sheet if anyone PM's their email address.

It may end up with VAR making the decision

This is getting interesting now who wants to put there “cock on the block “ and call it before I get it measured

Unfortunately, I'm not sure you can have a mounted trophy measured, it needs to be presented as a clean skull after 30 days of drying. For CIC anyway

What sort of volume should the OP be looking for for Gold do you think?

Indeed. So what difference will drying make?

 

[Henns]

Very little, however it's a requirement of trophy assessment.
