This tusk is priced at $17,500 which includes UPS shipping and insurance. We prefer you pay by personal or bank check or bank wire rather than credit card and will give a $175 discount. A rare opportunity to own one of these. We ship these very well packaged and insured thru UPS, we have shipped many over the years. This tusk has a custom made wooden wall mount display holder, a photo of that will be posted tomorrow. Exempt from MMPA restrictions due to age, comes with an invoice and a letter.
Narwhal tusks (pre 1972) can be shipped within the U.S. and with an export permit can be shipped to some countries overseas. The average size is 6’-7’ but can be much longer, these came into the U.S. from Canada before 1972 (53 years ago). When the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted it ended the importation into the U.S. but grandfathered/allowed the trade in tusks already here. We acquire these from individuals and estates, they are rare and pricey we usually have at least one, please inquire.
