Thanks Eric.  I still can't do the picture thing.  This outfit is really a simple old style Southern Pouch and is about 7" by 81/2".  It is calf skin with pigskin bindings.  There is mo lining and no internal pocket.  The horn is a very simple horn with a carved trumpeted spout.  The bee hive plug is of ash and has a "hat of Arabi" finial.  There is an accoutrement set tucked inside the bag consisting of a measure, brush and vent pick all handled with antler.  The knife was made by Nathan at Conner Prarie.  The outfit is rigged in the form of a horse trooper's bag.  It rides high up under the right arm and the horn is tied directly to the bag.  Enjoy.

Nice looking set Billy, especially love the curve of the horn.

Yep, lovely horn Billy. I like the tacks, and the contrast of the simple tip with the fancy turned base plug. Somebody is going to be happy. 😀 Marc

Thank for the kind comments.  When I was at Dixon's, no one even picked the horn up and looked at it.  So, now it's new home is the bag I use with my .62.  I think it's a keeper.  Thanks again.
