Great job, I'm thinking about trying to make a Horn for myself. I really like the staple in the bases plug. I've noticed that some horns had staples in both ends.

Thanks for sharing

Yes. The staple on the spout end was used to keep the strap in place.. not to hang the strap. Many make that mistake... I’ve not done one of those myself but am Wanting to try
I appreciate that bit of information on the spout staple, I saw a photo of a horn that had the staple on what would the side as apposed to what would be the top while hanging and this explains why it wouldn't matter.
 
Cool! That brass plug started as an acorn shaped strap holder, i clamped it my view and used a hacksaw to cut the acorn part off, I then sanded it and partially polished it, then drilled a hole with drill press through the plug. I decided on an irregular shaped ring, made of Baling wire, I roughed out the ring then heated it to harden. I thought about making it perfectly round, but in looking at it I’m glad I didn’t
