Powder Horns ID
« on: August 16, 2024, 03:49:48 PM »
Traveling around Switzerland and found these two horns in an out of the way and unexpected place.

I believe the flat horn may be 18th century or very early 19th. The large horn is amazingly well constructed (usual Swiss quality) the base is formed from copper and the spout is completely adjustable for different powder measurements.

Any suggestions?
