I really like all three, being partial to banding I  do have to agree on the color of the middle horn though. All three are great. Great work Tim.

 Thanks for the complements. On that middle horn; the horn itself had a lot to do with how the color turned out. I used some Saddle Tan oil based leather dye on it, put it on, heated it with a heat gun, rubbed if off, let it dry, buffed it with a rag  then put some Brown shoe polish on it and buffed it again with a brush and rag.

Tim,
Very nicely done, as usual. Is the dark horn on the left with a single band a powder or small caliber ball horn? How is the stopper made, it looks like a screw in?

 It is for powder, the tip is Pewter, I was going to make it a screw in but figured the threaded plug in the base was enough. It is held in by the tacks that are the eyes. Those are half inch hole in the bases so they could may be use as ball horns but that was not the original intent.

Very nice work as always. The one in the middle is my favorite.  I think it is the color.  Thanks for sharing.
