Thread: How about Narwhal for scales?

All right guys, this is out of my budget, and I don't know how it would work, but what do you think about Narwhal for scales? that would be really exotic.

Boone Trading Company - Narwhal Ivory Tusks

yes I was going to say the stuff is highly illegal. Pre ban is almost impossible to find and so expensive as to be not worth it. The web site says pre ban but I don't believe it and I'll bet they can't prove it. Its far easier to find pre ban elephant and much cheaper. I don't see any advantage to narwhale over elephant except for bragging rights. Elephant has been on the banned list since the 1970s and narwhale long before that.

Here's a second source that says the Narwhal ban was 1970-something: Can I buy a narwhal tusk?

Anyway- you buy, I'll try lol.

If I could afford the piece on the right I'd probably get it. I think you could get a few sets of scales out of it, a set in narwhal scales would be cool. this company has a great reputation and supposedly has documentation on all their stuff. I know gunmakers that buy from them. that's where I saw the name initially I think.
