How can you doubt the authenticity of this horn??  The guy that is selling it is the Early American History expert as seen on the History Channel's Pawn Stars.  That's enough for me.  Where do I send the check?

The only thing missing is that red logo that says "As Seen on TV" in the corner of the picture.

Only $3,995.00? Rick would have offered him $50.00.

 I mean, you can buy it on payments, ya know that's gotta'b up front. Give me a break! For one monthly payment I will make you one and guarantee it was one time owned by a Cow and have one of the dogs chew on it to make it authentic!
 I'm surprised the seller didn't sign himself P. T. Barnum.

So long as you'll certify that your dog is authentic and original!  :P

You guys are too cynical.  I'm going to buy it on the payment plan and turn a quick profit.  It will be hard to part with something so authentic, though.  That's what happened with the genuine Revolutionary War back action halfstock percussion rifle I got of the bay for just a few grand.  I got attached and just can't sell it.

Hey, you guys. Some poor schmuck may actually buy this thing, so lighten up. I actually thought about bidding on it but it's "Buy it Now". And then I'd be stuck with it. How can you even suggest that he is not authentic? He even offers free  shipping.  :o  ;D

Recall that some "appraisors" on Antiques Roadshow are now in prison over falsely appraising and selling fakes.

No wonder it so affordable.....can you imagine what the cost of shipping would be with insurance, armed guards and specialized vehicles? What a treasure.......

   Obviously the opinion here is that this is some kind of scam. So what is the problem with it? Is it an insanely high price? Is it an obviously modern fake? Or is it something else? I don't really know much about this sort of thing.

Take a careful look at the closeups of the horn and look for white colored cuts around the lettering etc, unexpected sharpness of line You can then draw your own conclusions.

Note the terms original and period don't reference what period. There is nothing untrue that could get the seller in trouble. Very carefully worded

Hi Bill,

It's a modern made horn.  Now, the question is, does the seller know it's modern and is trying to dupe an unwary buyer.  Or is he not the expert he claims to be?

This will prove Barnum was right.Pawn Stars like most of the rubbish on the "History" Channel
is one more reason to avoid it.
