Carried in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.  A 3 war horn, pretty amazing it survived all of them, that in itself must be very rare for any horn.

Great post.  Thanks for sharing.
A photo shows the horn being held by one of Gresham Prince’s descendants and gives a good perspective of the horn’s size.
