http://www.douglasvanhowd.com/OurWork/Sculptures.aspx I'd ask the artist, directly. It is gorgeous...price depends on size...in 2004 Last Call Auction sold a bronze reproduction like yours...8 1/2" & also numbered out of 24 for $1,840.

Thanks for that info, I am asking $1250 for it. I think that's a fair price don't you?

Great price...wish I could buy it. I did just learn something...your bronze would not be considered a reproduction but an original, limited edition. You are quite welcome. I would search out some hunter websites to try to find a buyer.
