This comment is totally uncalled for and very ungentlemanly. As has been shared there are other forums one can join where such behavior and remarks are tolerated, but SMF is not one of them.

Agreed.

Actually, the "special" price for you would have been $800 had it not sold.

Yes, $800 for Mahyar, $500 for everyone else...

So did it sell?

Fantastic brush that I kept coming back to see.

BTW, ethical ivory... do a study to find out what happens to elephant populations that aren't cherished/protected by the indiginous natives. Then find out about the ones where the indigenous people have an economic stake (hunting/culling). One is engangered, the other thrives. Despite the talk and "common knowledge" of the endangered elephant, it is in no way endangered though some would have you believe it to further a cause. It may be "endangered" in certain areas, but not where hunting/culling is allowed since the natives get a % of the cash derived. If the population of elephants isn't kept in check in a controlled way, then the natives do it in an uncontrolled manner and then you have endangered elephant populations. It may not make sense to folks who think one needs to protect something to the point of suffocating it, but it does make sense considering human motivation, what makes something valuable to a population, and the way to make it so.

If possible, it is even more impressive "in person" than it is in Nathan's pictures.

I'm delighted.

Neat!

Give it a good home!

Do you intend to use it? Just curious, not writing a book.

This is from a PM I sent to diggity, the seller, "If it weren't for the history, I'd be planning on using it tomorrow - maybe I'll wait for THE special occasion (of course, at my age, the next 'big' deal will likely be my funeral"
