Sergiorex Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Saw this for sale, seller claims it was from a museum and it was found in kem kem. It is 8 cm long and I was wondering if it’s a real claw, as I don’t know much about claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB003 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If seller is saying its from a museum, and they are selling it, I'd very much consider that a red flag in regards to the fact that it may be stolen if it is indeed real or partially real. I'm no expert so wait for others but something looks off to me. Almost looks like a bunch of sections put together. 2 *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bad example of a bad fake. Stay away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 "from a museum" !!!!! As a guy who works in a museum, this is NOT acceptable in any way shape or form. Or did he forget to say it was bought at a museum gift shop. Very different tale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergiorex Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 I also think it might be fake, but I don’t know much about claws so I wanted more opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Like others have said it's a pretty bad fake. Was it sold as a replica or orginal? Is it resin or bone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Bad fake. Trash. Most likely made from random pieces of bone sanded down to resemble a "claw". Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
