James,
Did it come from the Norris show?  Good to see you posting again.

Is it signed anywhere? Gary Birch makes innovative horns such as this one. I think that most of his ususally are initialed or signed somewhere, though perhaps not in every instance.

That looks like a nifty little horn.  Any chance of getting a shot of the butt end?  I'm curious about the way the end of the patch is handled.

 Whoever it was it is a great design and very well done. Wish I could take credit for it

Very nice horn.  "Elegantly" simple, and that's hard to do.

puts me in the mind of the Missouri boys...Larry Calahan, Harris Maupin oe Jeff Bottinger, though Jeff uses a different peg style..

Doesn't look like Gary Birch,  but maybe Jeff Bibb(?)

I think that strap/flap arrangement is taken from a bag shown in Jim Webb's original sketchbook (the small one).

Hey Ken, yep got it at the Norris show. It was from the nice couple who setup next to Art and Jan IIRC.

I don't see where it's signed anywhere, below is a detail shot of the patch, looks copper to me. I liked it because it had a ETN look to me.

I have one of Bibb's horns and doesn't look like his work to me. BTW, don't ask to buy his award winning horn that has a similar style to this one, he won't sell it, how do I know?

Yeah I patterned the bag from styling features Mr. Webb published in his fine book. I built it for my dad before he passed.

Thanks for the pics!  I'd wondered if the maker had carried the patch around over the butt of the horn, or if it was somehow "tucked" in between the horn and plug.

Pretty sweet.......whoever it was.
