That looks a nice mellow old horn, Mark.

Like an old friend!   I could enjoy its company.

Yes it is ivory, I’m sure that it was just put in at some point in time but also I can’t say for certain.

A pretty unique set of gun stuff. Having 'Hawken, St. Louis' stamped bullet molds is downright unusual. Did the rifle come with the set? The horn has a nice turn and the color is very pleasing. Thanks for posting the photos
