Artifical bear claws? I need some help

Submitted by mark on 10/31/2002. ( m_parkhill@hotmail.com ) 216.37.42.10

I have read a few messages about artifical bear claws used to replace and repair mounts and rugs. I have not been able to find a taxidermy supplier which sells the claw core & nail cover or the bezels & crowns for claws. A previous message mentioned Research Mannikens, Van Dykes, Rio Grand, Navaho, and Thunderbird taxidermy supply as sources. So far I havent been able to locate these suppliers or the claws in question. Can anybody stear me in the right direction? Thanks

Go to the top of this page where it says Taxidermy Net Home, Click on it. When that page comes up go down to Suppliers and Click there. When that page comes up scroll down......... If all that fails post your credit card number here and I will order for you.

Thanks Old Fart, Van Dykes does carry a 2-1/2" black bear claw but I was looking for the claw cores and nail covers. Research Mannikens web page is dead but I'll try calling them. Any one else?
