So who cast them? I know of a company locally that does so. One of our neighbor's years ago, used to do many bronzes. He did many for Sea World, when it was owned by Anheuser Busch. He did the eagle and something else that used to be out front of the San Antonio Sea World and other bronzes for other locations. He also did a life size big horn for the Sierra Club. I helped him load that ram in the truck, it was pretty heavy. He did a lot of wildlife sculptures for a lot of companies. Turns out he did the sculptures that were used on a lot of older hard rifle cases. I have two that have his sculptures on them. I had not idea he did them, till he saw my cases one day and pointed out that those were his sculptures. Then I looked closer and saw his name at the bottom. There is a lot of money to be made doing sculptures like that. I never realized that so many companies paid people for work like that, until I got to know our neighbor better.
