Germanic Powder Horn

This is reputed to be South German, 18th century. I suspect the cord is not the original.

 That is a beauty, the tip alone is quite a touch no to mention a Lot of work. As for the cord it looks like Parachute cord to me.

That's quite unique!  I'd like to see a closeup pic of the butt end.  Thanks for posting, Ron.
