Wounded wild boar who attacked John Pirynger, director and friend to kill him by stamping on his chest.

I shot him off the man at a distance of 3 steps, with one arm in a sling, with a 450 express gun.

The only visible part of the boar was his eye because it was evening.

The weight of the boar was 310 kg (703 pounds).

The length of tusk was 24.5 cm (10 inches).

In October 1939 the tusk won the first gold medal at the Berlin hunting international exhibition.
