Silver Mounted Buffalo Horn
« on: August 19, 2009, 05:26:42 PM »
There has been discussion on here from time to time of buffalo horns.  This Steve Lodding horn on the CLA site really caught my attention - it appears to be based on the one formerly owned by Jim Dresslar, now in the Indiana State Museum, that is attributed to John Small, the famous early Vincennes gunmaker.  Just really cool - wonderful workmanship.

Guy, thanks for sharing the info.  I did too see Steve's horn on the blog and thought what a great job he did in recreating the original.  Great job Steve!
