<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 114525, member: 360&quot;]Don&#039;t get involved in ivory laws.

Ivory prior to this date is generally considered to be &quot;Antique ivory&quot; and therefore nobody really cares whether you have paperwork or not - it&#039;s old, so you plainly didn&#039;t go out last week and de-tusk Dumbo for it with a shotgun. </p><p><br /></p><p>POST-1947-1970-something (I forget when) = Legal to own, sell, etc. But you need paperwork. </p><p><br /></p><p>POST-1970 = Legal to own/sell ***DEPENDING*** on what the ivory is, and where it came from. I know for a fact that you can still buy perfectly legal ivory straight razors, ivory figures, ivory pocket-knives, etc, which are all made of mammoth ivory and so-forth. And they&#039;re being bought and sold quite legitimately by manufacturers online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
