i am new to taxidermy and i am starting to collect some skulls and i was wondering what the different grades of skulls ment in know that #1 is the best #2 in the middle and #3 is the worst but how to get rated like that? cause i would want to buy a #2 Baboon skull but i wanna find out the condition and if i should just save up the money to buy a #1

I think a #1 skull is perfect, no cracks, missing teeth, the nose plate is intact, etc.
A #2 skull has minor inperfections, such as a chipped or missing tooth, the nose bones may be damaged.
A #3 skull may have several missing teeth, discoloration, chips, bone loss, missing nose plate, etc.
Dont quote me on this, but that's what I think:D
I have always preferred #1 skulls (they display much better), but that one is up to you.
thanks for the help
