My Own Antlers

Recently I have noticed the increased popularity of mounted antlers used as decoration pieces. I have to admit that I think they are pretty terrific. I have had a pair of mounted antlers hung in my house for years. They were handed down to me from my father. My father received them from his mother, my grandmother, who brought them over from Germany. They hung in her families home in Munich. My father believes they came from a German Red Deer. I have always loved them, maybe because I remember them hanging in my beloved grandmother's home. I have received mixed reviews from visitors who have taken notice to them. Some people seem to think they are an interesting decorating piece. Others ask why I would hang them in my house. I love them and I feel pretty cool now that I see them in popular magazines. Let the nay-sayers snicker all they want!
I don't think they are red deer antlers. If they are less than 30cm long, and knobbly at the bottom, then they are probably roe deer antlers. It's hard to see from your picture though.
