there is a business in Spokane that has one mounted, but the mount is from the teens or 20's if I recall correctly, and was prior to the law protecting the bald eagle.  And he has a permit grandfathering him in for the ownership of such mount.  He had WA Department of Revenue come through his business, and the employee through a fit about it and reported him to 4-5 other WA/Federal departments. Everything checked out for this gentleman, but he had 4-5 different departments wasting his time for multiple weeks.the only thing that came out of the interrogation was that he can't sell the  mount.  Which he already knew as it was part of the permit he had.

I have seen one other one that is also from the teens or 20's.  It was on loan to a cultural association from the owner that also owns the permit.

YOU CAN NOT EVEN HAVE A FEATHER  :o :yike:

nope it sucks too because eagles feed in a tree on my dads property and among the duck parts and fish bits are occasionally eagle feathers...can only pick up the duck feathers .... I am still hoping through the antiquities trade to eventually have an owl my dad runs across them occasionally at estate sales and auctions ...

Here's a few pics of my Taxi in the early stages of mounting up a Bald Eagle for an Oregon tribe. sorry I never got a finished pic before it was shipped out to the owner, I'll see if I could get a finished pic.
