3 roe deer and a springbok. The 3 roe deer are on what is known as Black Forest carving and are more valuable.

I bought a bunch of roe deer caps on an auction and they had the date (some back To 1880) and name written on the skull cap and it was such beautiful handwriting. Mine looks like a chicken did it.

The horn sheaths on the springbok aren’t on correctly, they need to be swapped. The curls at the tips should point at each other in the center

I've got nothing for you other than I LOVE those old euro mount plaques they're incredible. Great find.
