Here’s a whimsical little number I came up with.
“Death to Tyrants” is definitely splashy😒

This is my favorite horn that you have built so far. Its just me but I like things that look like they have been used/aged/ antiqued whatever one wants to call it. Excellent work. It caught me eye
Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a cold frosty morning

Thanks.
I had a request on another forum from a guy to make one like it for him, since this one was already sold. I don’t do commission work any more, but it turns out that Richard is an Active Service US Marine and it seemed the right thing to do. His horn is the upper one in the photo.

My time was Army but I do know the Marines are frequently the first in and the last ones out.We had a Marine friend who was injured in VietNam and had a spinal cord injury that kept him in a wheel chair for life.He had a million$ wife that stayed with him until the day he stopped the world and got off.
