At least I think thats what you call it, anyway, I have liked this style of imaging since I was a kid.

Very nice.  PA Dutch influence.  Been searching for a Fraktur from my ancestors for years.  They were in Dauphin County PA.

Yes old traveler. I made it to go with a Bucks county hunting rifle I made for myself.

How did you apply the color? Is it a paint or dye? I think it looks great, a very interesting horn for sure.

You did an excellent job on that horn, unusual motif, but it came together well, and looks great on the horn.

Looks really good Robby.  I have done several horns with a Fraktur Distelfinks theme, but your looks a lot better than my efforts.  Poly-chrome adds a lot to these.

KC, I usually us regular fountain pen ink for colors but for some reason I used 'magic markers' to do this one. When I cooked it, the colors bled into the water solution and gave the horn a bluish cast, that doesn't show up quite so much in the photo's as it does in hand. A fellow at the range one day wondered aloud if it was him, or does that horn have a bluish look to it, and I replied that indeed it does and there is a big angry fellow from Minnesota named after a foot malady that is looking for his ox! Hah!

I love the pattern Robby. Most excellent.  My rifle has a Distlefink box on it.  Those Germans loved their Goldfinches.   :-)
