This buffalo hide is 100% authentic and was used and is actually seen with Kevin Costner in the movie Dances with Wolves. It is visible at the 3:39:53 mark of the movie (Screen shots are in this listing). It was acquired in a family estate.
Part of the movie was filmed at the Gallagher Ranch in Bandera, Texas. The director of Dances with Wolves asked the caretaker of the Gallagher Ranch to locate carpenters to help build the set. Since the caretaker and my two family members were best of friends, they were hired. At the end of the filming at the Gallagher Ranch, this buffalo hide was offered to my family members as a tip for the great work they had done. It has been on the wall since.
