Vintage Taxidermy, Stags Head.
A good shoulder mount of a Red Deer. The head is with 12 point antler and set looking slightly to one side. The taxidermy head is mounted onto an oak shield with plaque, "E.E. de W.W. Coire Fhuiran, 3rd Oct 1932". The condition of the stag is fairly good but he has a few small splits around the eyes and mouth.

The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), or Red Stag, is one of the largest deer species that inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in north-western Africa. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated mammal still existing in the Netherlandss, United Kingdom and Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa. Only the stags have antlers, which are made of bone and grow at a rate of 2 ½ cm (1inch) a day. The antlers start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter.
