    Bushbuck mini-horn

    This is one of four that I am making for myself, and 3 other friends. I've polished it slightly, very slightly. And fitted a base plug made from wild olive wood. Progress on a bushbuck baghorn. I still need to figure out how to make the spout and the stopper.

    Help to identify

    Guys, I've picked up this beautiful powder horn today at an antiques fair. :grin: I am not certain as to it's origin, apart from being very certain that it must be European, looking at the stag, and the archer. The metal is silver. Any further identification will be much appreciated.
