Thanks for that.

I actually was just trying to describe the shape of the oryx or gemsboks horns as "scimitar" shaped.

I wasn't actually referring to the Scimitar Oryx which is pale or white and has to be one of the nicest looking trophies except I think it is classified as endangered (??).

I think the horns of both are very similar shaped. Gemsbok do make very nice trophies too. The closest I have got to them is about 400 metres and we weren't hunting at the time. Otherwise I haven't been in the right terrain for them.

As a collector of swords and similar "tools" I like the description.
