This is an Orvis Pintail Drake Decorative Decoy made for Orvis by Big Sky Carvers of Montana. It is unsigned and undated but has the name , “Orvis by Big Sky Carvers, ” on the underneath. In the 1990’s Orvis contracted with Big Sky Carvers to create a variety of decorative decoys which were marketed by Orvis. They are no longer available from Orvis and are fairly difficult to find. Many were signed by well known Big Sky Carvers artists but this one is not. But it is a very beautiful and unusual decoy with intricate painting and staining of the bird’s feathers and features. It is in like new condition with one minor flea bite of a mark on the tail and some discoloring in the paint on its front that appears to be sap from the wood from which it was carved. It is 18.5 inches long, 6.25 inches wide, 7.25 inches tall, and weighs 2 pounds, 7 ounces. Pintail Drakes are just a spectacularly beautiful bird and this carving really compliments their beauty. Please look closely at the photos. We were unable to find another like it being offered anywhere but have no information on how many were actually created. The Orvis name enhances its value and we offer it as a wonderful gift for a deserving person… The item “Orvis Big Sky Carvers Pintail Drake Decorative Decoy” is in sale since Sunday, December 30, 2018.
