 Neat horn, how big is it? Hope you don't mind, I brightened them up a bit as they are easier to see.

Interesting stopper system. Don’t think I’ve seen one quite like it. Looks like it can be operated one handed, which is convenient!

Neat turtle on the horn body.  How did you get that on there?  Best wishes, and God Bless,   Marc

I didn't. The horn is a original. Either Penobscot or Abenaki....late period.
To answer your question...it is one piece. All hand carved.  It was found in a old box of old gun parts.
