I have two photographs of the Australian world record buffalo which were taken at the bark Hut on the Arnhem Highway .I can't post them as I don't have an account on a host website and don't really want to go that route.
The buff was taken by Bill Fordham in the early 80's in Arnhem Land.
He used a Winchester 44-40 to shoot the animal .
He had the horns mounted on another buffalo shoulder mount and the mount hung in the dining room at his King Valley homestead for many years.
I believe they were sold a few years ago , but have not seen or heard of them since Bill sold the property and moved to Qld.

The two photos were taken by myself in 1982 and are copyright to me .
.
I give my permission to post them in the appropriate thread.
.
They were scanned from prints taken at the time which explains the ordinary quality.
.
But I think they are clear enough to post . As far as I know they are the only photographic record of the horns.
.
I am standing to the left in the pic with two people , the other person is Bill Fordham the shooter and owner of the horns at that time.
.
I am 6' ft 2" in hieght so you can see how large the horns are.
