Who is the "king" of tigers? - Bengal or Amur

[Thebingthing]

The date for the tiger as sold was 1936, and I removed newspaper and plaster around it that formed part of the stuffed head that was also dated 1936 and was from Indian newspapers and other documents, so I think it is safe to assume it was A wild Bengal given the period and the papers.


I'll certainly try and take some other measurements and post back.

I also have another one which is very very small, im not sure of what subspecies it is or anything - I naturally assume most in the UK are bengals given the history between the UK and India but it just doesn't look like anything else. As they are antiques I would rather rescue and restore these than see them go to ruin...sad to see so few left so want to preserve these old pieces where possible.
