(1/5) > >>

T.C.Albert:
Has anybody else seen or otherwise have any experience with authentic map horns carved from artillery type horns? Ive seen this one around, and am amazed at the price tag...any thoughts? tag...http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/BostonPowderHorn-1775

It sure is some mighty clean scrim work on that horn.  Really stood the test of time!  Maybe it was kept in a safe or something.  Certainly it was never actually used, but that doesn't seem to have affected the value.

The few artillery type horns I have seen have been plain, without professional scratching.  But it could happen.

Cory Joe Stewart:
I'm with Rich, I have never seen one, but would not count it out. I am about to make a horn that would count as a campaign horn or cannon primer and may do some work on it.

 That's a bunch of bucks for any horn. Somebody posted a bunch of military style here awhile back and if I remember right a couple of them had maps on them. I can't find them at the moment.

 It took me awhile, here is the link. One of them has a map of Boston on it.TC

A very nice horn.  Out of my price range though.
