Title: Powder Horn
Post by: 2victor2 on March 27, 2023, 07:45:05 AM

Found this powder horn today at old store that’s closing up. A little smaller than usual. Not sure about the chain, but the staples were different.
Any ideas gentlemen?

That is a great little horn with loads of character. The chain is an old one and may have seen use in attaching the strap. I have seen a few other horns with similar chains present. You might go back to that store and root around a little more. They may have the rifle stuck away somewhere. Thank you for showing it here. much appreciated!
