A powder horn ... unusual ?

Hi Fernando

Well, it's interesting to say the least. There was a contemporary powder horn maker here in the States that made one similar (less the metal valve spouts) and presented it to a young couple as a wedding gift. It was engraved with both names on it. Sort of a his/hers type of novelty gift. I thought it was a clever idea. LOL

I suspect your's is similar in that it was more of a styling exercise, even if fully functionable. The valves and the carrying strap do look somewhat old. And I like the color combination of the horns.

From a shooter's perspective, I can't think of a practicle use for it. But it certainly is a great conversation piece.
