Taxidermy and Duplicating antlers

[GooseR]

I have recently shot probably a once in a lifetime roe buck and if ever I was to get one shoulder mounted this would be the one.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a taxidermist that is able to duplicate the antlers of my buck and use them on the form for the shoulder mount enabling me to keep the original skull intact and so have both the original skull that I can pick up and compare to other heads (look at teeth etc) and also have a shoulder mount with duplicate antlers.

I know this is possible in Spain and the states but don’t know of a taxidermist in the UK or close by who could do it.

Any advice or help finding the right taxidermist would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, but quite a time consuming and expensive process!

I'm in Farnborough and can probably make a silicone mould from which a cast (resin probably) could then be made.

Not a taxidermist though, but happy to work with one to make this.

I thought that would have been standard……… what a tease

He’s not enormous but a very handsome typical specimen. And I had a bit of history with him
