I bet you could make an incredible looking stand with your wood working skills! Hippo tooth? Never heard or seen. That’s pretty cool. Are they old? I bet they cost a pretty penny either way.
Yes, I love the little grips and that plunger tube covering they do. Well worth investing in some different bushings and screws to be able to get them on there. Interesting back story on why/when you got your Para. I understand why you’d want to display it.
Hippo tooth is Ivory. A member here sent me the tooth and I made him a set that he had scrimshawed. Got two other sets out of the tooth as well. Hard to work with. Thought I'd posted pics here not long ago.
