I thought I had given up muzzle loading but every time I see some interesting traditional equipment I get a little closer to taking it up again. Nice horn mine are rather plain.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

A friend from Texas made this flat horn for me years back.

That would look right home on a Mountain Man. Jim Bridger, John Coulter, the Lewis & Clark expedition, and others like that would have been happy with those.

Neat looking powderhorns GK. I have never used a flinter, so have never needed a powderhorn. My muzzleloader is the inline type, and I have a half dozen little tubes that hold up to 150 grains of powder. I carry a small item which can remove the fired 209 primer and then replace it to make things easier. It has been some years since I used my muzzleloader. Until last year, my work schedule was changing up until Tuesday night at 9 pm to start on Wednesday through Tuesday. Maybe this year I can be out hunting. Texas allows inline muzzleloaders. Some states don't.

Nice work guys! I started a horn with a tapered octagonal motif, a lot harder than I anticipated, it's a project for my brother that is 95% complete, it is my first attempt.

GK , love the eagle on yours, I might suggest wearing your Ted Nugent hat to complete the subterfuge. No one will mistake you for a Redcoat until you speak :D
