Usually you just take length and girl measurements, and picture, and then send it in to have it cast, no realy parts.  I've seen real skin mounts, but they can deteriorate easily of not done perfectly.

I don't know about 'easily' deteriorating, these effects usually don't happen for years and years and years.  I've seen fish mounts from the 50's, a little darker now, but still looking good.
