8’ 3” long

5” between eyes

17” width of head

19” length of head

9’6” and 9’8” Diagonal length

The head is blond as is the top of the back; the rest is varying degrees of dark brown.

 

It needs some repairs:

Both ears are balding

Front Left- paw missing one claw, paw is attached to the bear, but the leather is broken, being held to the rest of the bear by the felt and other material under the rug.

Front Right- paw missing 2 claws, there are stumps of the claws where they should be.

Back left- missing all claws and paw is attached to the bear, but the leather is broken, being held to the rest of the bear by the felt and other material under the rug.

Back right- missing one claw, stump of nail is where claw should be

There are 5 bald spots, all are measured at the longest and widest parts:

10x4           4x2                9x2.5                   7x4              5x3

There are also two places where there are flaps of leather and hair over a bald spot, just needs to be glued down.  There are 3 patches of hair that came from the bear they measure:  12x 2.75             7x4              4.5x2        

There is also some damage by the tail area- the glue and hair is coming off somewhat.I don’t think that this would be a hard fix for a good taxidermist.

 

It was recently appraised by a professional.  It is valued at $1600, but make an offer.  Look below for pictures.

 

I also have a cinnamon colored black bear head, and a javalina head.  See below for pictures.
