Re: Is this for real??
I don't know anything about tiger claws, but those look like they're probably only ~1cm long? I'd think tigers would have larger claws than that.
Edit: OK, I looked it up real quick. Tiger's claws can be up to 10cm(4" for my U.S. friends). I'd think even the small ones would be a lot bigger than the claws being sold in the photos. Maybe they're from a large street cat?

Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Re: Is this for real??
In Indonesia (Jawa tengah), we had a farewell party at our home with around 60 workers (mostly young, 25ish). Dangdut, beer, vodka, a good evening with happy people.
At one point, i hear some trouble in the garden. one of the shyest and youngest guy, Toa, was behaving like a pissed-off big cat, jumping around, scratching people with his fingers, roaring and so on. It took 10 mn to catch him, but finally his closest friends put him flat on ground, and try to reach Toa's handphone.
One of the pals gave a call, then put the device on Toa's ear, and he almost instantly calmed down. A few minutes later, he recovered his mind and was back to normal, totally unaware of his previous behavior, like nothing did happen.
He took his wallet out of his pocket, opened it, and took a tiger's claw out of it.
Backstory : his father is a chaman, and put a tiger's claw in his wallet, to give his son the strenght and spirit of a tiger. The boy was aware that the claw was in his wallet. The call on handphone was to his father, so he could say the right words to break the spell, which occured because of the altered state of mind provoked by the unusual and excessive alcool consumption.
It was indeed a big party after many months of hard work, ending my two years experience working in that company. Party, release of mind, alcool, I guess all matched to make the boy's mind switch into tiger mode.
The claw was exactly like the photo on the 1st post / OP's link.
True story.
The power of suggestion and auto-suggestion in a society where animism is still part of people's life, and other weird parameters.
Tough to be a tiger these days, beetween the poachers, the chamans and the Joe Exotics here and there...
