    I pretty much no what it scores, just want it officially done. Could be some big swings depending on how things are interpreted

    It counterparts to score as an 18. Length & spread are your two key factors to a good score. How much of a hurry are you @PerazziSC3?

    Not that much of a hurry. Only difficulty is the slightly palmated tops.

    Length and spread are both around 40. I think spread was 41 and length 40 so slight overspread.

    I'm not in a rush, doesn't need to back at taxidermist for a few months

    Palmation can often add to score as the off shoot points that counterpart get measured to the pith line of the tine.
    PM me your phone number so we can organise a time.

    My “guess” is it’s over 340 and under 365 I will update when officially measured.
