I had my elk that I shot last year European mounted, when I got it back the antlers were messed up, they had been “cleaned” with something that left them much lighter and splotchy.
This is what it looked like before I dropped it off.
I did some research and found that you can darken them with denatured alcohol and potassium permanganate.
It took about 10-12 coats before they got to a color I was happy with.
Here is the skull mounted on the wall in the house.
