Title: Vietnam service horn straps
Post by: rsells on April 08, 2019, 10:41:53 PM

I am finishing up a scrimshaw horn project I started several years ago and have lost my info on a supplier of woven horn straps with similar colors and design of the Vietnam service campaign  ribbon.  Do any of you guys make these or can point me in the direction of a source?

Message Ron Hess under GA Turner here. His wife Louise is making woven straps that replicate ribbon colors or branch of service colors. Lovely work. God Bless, Marc

I got lucky - a friend's wife made one for me for Christmas!  It is currently holding my powder horn.  PM me and I'll tell you how to contact him.
