DL, it sounds as if your son has good taste, maybe it's the Michigan in him.
Below is a shot of my Grandparents, with my oldest 71. This one has a serial no. just over 100.
The other one I have was my Dad's and that's in the middle four digit range.
In the picture my Grandmother is holding an Ermine, which I still have right here in this room.
The mount has definitely seen better days but it'll be around as long as I am.
My Grandfather shot that Weasel, with of all things, his 71.
He said it was running along the trunk of an old downed tree and he purposely shot under it.
The term he always used when telling that story was that "He barked it."
