The
scrimshaw-grade powderhorn has a turned and
fluted horn spout and plug with an octagon-carved
and dyed center section and engrailed edge.
The base plug is turned myrtle with a deep
oil finish. The base is fastened with eight
wood pins and has a screw-type brass filler
plug. Horn is colored for a fine aged look.
The fringed cotton strap has adjustable leather
lace connections. From the tip of spout to
base plug, the horn measures 14" along the
outside curve. Diameter of the horn base is 2.5".
The smaller priming horn
is basically the same as the scrimshaw-grade powderhorn,
just appropriately scaled down. From the tip of
the spout to base plug, the horn measures 10.5" along
the outside curve. Diameter of the horn base is
2". This is a beautiful powderhorn set for a fine
muzzleloader. Sold as a set only.
