Another Virginia Horn

[Tim Crosby]

 This one is after a horn on pages 332 & 333 of Dr. Hopkins' book "Bone Tipped & Banded Horns Pt I"
It is 14 1/2" around the outside curve and 11 1/2 tip-to-tip. The butt is Walnut, it is hollowed out about 3/4s its length and held in by 4 Iron pins. The tip is Cow horn held the the horn with 3 Iron pins, it has a Pewter tip. The two bands were heated and tapped on they are secured with 3 Iron pins each. Color is AF and brown shoe polish.

Very nice horn Tim! Is the pewter tip formed or cast in place?  What time period would this horn best fit?

[Tim Crosby]

 The tip was cast on the horn blank and the turned with it, the one on the original was a screw tip.
The book says it is a later horn, I'm guessing mid 1800s.

Neat lines brother. You’re going to run out of originals to bench copy at this rate.  Lol.
