Well two weekends ago I was given an awesome gift from one of my good buddies (and also my brother-in-law). The horns belonged to their grandfather, my wife and B-I-L are not sure of the complete story but believe that they were found on a dead elk in CO a very long time ago by their grandpa. It is obvious that at one time someone tried to mount them to a skull plate as there are two screws right through the center of the pedicles. Obviosly the horns were a bit to heavy also as the screws are sheared off. Anyhow, the horns had been in their grandfathers basement for a long time and the basement was going to shambles due to water/mold etc. They salvaged all they could from the basement and the horns were given to me as a gift as the family thought that I would proudly display them as grandpa use to. I felt really blessed to have these passed along to me. I haven't decided how I will display them yet, for now they are resting in the man room with the rest of the horns. Once, I figure out how I am going to display them I will post more pics. For now here are the horns.

I don't know what the exact description in for an elk but the 4's on that thing are out of control....A website called www.tinesup.com has a ton of sheds from muleys and elk and I believe that someone on the site specializes in making replica skulls for sheds to be mounted too.

Congrats on the bone!
 
You could hang them coat rack style and then hang matching sheds by strings / leather straps from each tine!:way: I've considered this with an elk shed that I have.
