Virginia Horn
« on: February 16, 2022, 05:49:28 PM »
  This one is after one on pages 308-309 of Dr. Hopkins' book "Bone Tipped & Banded Horns Pt I"
It is listed as a Miscellaneous Virginia horn.
 It is about  10 1/4" on the outside curve and 9 1/4" tip-to-tip. The butt is Maple held in by 9 wooden pegs and is 2 1/8" wide. The tip is one piece of Whitetail antler held on but 2 wooden pegs. Color is Light Brown dye and Brown shoe polish.
