Thomas Simpson Horn

[GA Turner]

The original was at the Alabama show in January and fortunate enough to get lots of photos and measurements. The bowling pin shaped spout plug threads into the collar/spout which is unusual. Metal band at spout for strap attachment. The carving at the base plug only goes around 3/4 of the horn and there is a flush horn band between the base and body of the horn. Red ink was used for scrim and horn was left in natural color. The letters TS were engraved on a silver inlay set into the butt plug which has two rings of rope carving in the cherry. This horn accompanies a rifle which Simpson made for Casper Mansker.

Thank you all for your kind comments. This one will be at CLA and just letting ink dry on a second one.
I told Mark that I was all done and ready for CLA show but can't seem to stay out of the shop.

I would love to see this. Photos only show so much. From what I see, this is a very nice version of the original horn. Great job.
