Gungongs! A big newer one and a small older one

This would not even remotely surprise me. I thought it might be a little older based on how the horn plates were separating, but like I said, I don't know that much. I have a hard time distinguishing anything WWII or newer.

Hey, I got something right at least?
Yeah, I really like this one.

Thanks for your comments.
