Also, what is the market value for a Jaguar pelt in 2009? It seems to be in very good shape and it is missing its head - the pelt runs from the neck to the base of the tail with all legs and claws attached.

See pics attached.

You should post up what you find out. I have a Bengal Tiger skin rug with head and claws that I inherited from my grandfather (over 9 feet long). He got it in India if the 60's when he worked over there. I have always wondered if I would be able to sell it.
