Comments:  
This is a very nice, original specimen coming from an old collection.  This specimen is 100% original with only one crack repair through the tail.  All of the skull plates are present as are a bunch of big teeth!  The scales are beautiful.  There has been just a tad bit of 'drifting' at the belly.. mentioned for accuracy.  The fish measures approx. 17 3/4" long x 7" tall.  This specimen has not been 'set' into the plate as many specimens are.. nicely inflated, sharp details and beauty make this a prize catch!  This plate has had 2 hangers inserted on the back of the plate.. so it's ready to hang!
