Much obliged for your input, Rick.
I have in time considered such comparison, at looking to various American examples in the Net, but i wouldn't risk such conclusion without support.
Thanks again.

Looks African to me Southeast Africa - Western Mozambique? I have some pics of similar from South Africa. When I find them.

Now you caught me, Tim.
What do i know? We have been in Mozambique till the other day. I know the army guys brought some souvenirs, namely black wood handycraft ... like my self. But a powder horn ? You leave me with no arguments, as i never exploited that side; allways viewed it as local stuff ... have bought it in a local street market.
I will be expecting those pictures of yours.
