Since we're gettin' all Rosco around here, I thought I'd try to get some better pics of mine. The 28cm is near mint with a bug bite; the 23cm's definitely not, but it has my favorite horn of my humble collection. I just love it when the white section of a skunky-lookin' scale ages into that yellowis...
