WANTED Most basic (read cheap yet with plugs) powder horn from Canada idealy (no duty fees)

[Josh Canuck]

My 63 anniversary is coming soon and my wife asked me what I wanted. Owning a cheap old belgian late 1800s percussion SxS shotgun, I figured that a cheap powder horn might be a good thing to go with it. I don't want something engraved, it would be like putting stylish hubcaps on a wreck. Lol Just something very how you say...? Plain Jane? Used would be even better for my shotgun is far from being A+.

Try loyalist arms they might have or know someone how does .

Plenty of them on the "jungle river" website, I don't know if they are legal to import or not, you'll have to check. Lots on the big auction site, too.

Thanks Ian I'll have a look. And HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!

Order up a horn and in an afternoon or less you will have just what you want.. you can find them on Ebay or "Powderhorns and MOre"......I buy old beat up horns (not vintage/antique) on ebay cheap, and reuse them.

Make your own. I’d never made before but here it is and I use it all the time. It’s a fun project.

 

[Josh Canuck]

Daveboone and Omahkapi'si good idea. Thanks. Would make something to do this winter during some stormy weekend before shoveling snow.

 

[Josh Canuck]

Finally found one on ebay.ca Should get to my door as soon as friday. I'll see if I made a good move or not pretty soon.

Once you have it in hand, you can try your hand at some carving or scrimshaw. Make it yours!

I carved this 30 years ago. It started life as a garage sale find mounted with its twin on a plaque.

 

[Josh Canuck]

My friend, you sure have a LOT of talent! I'd never be able to even approach your art. But someday I'll try anyway. The worst that could happen would be for me to scrap a few "blank" horns before gaining some experience with that.

EDIT: spelling

Being with Amazon Prime, it took only 2 days to get my powder horn delivered. And it was well protected too! Kudos to SZCO Supplies, BALTIMORE, MD which sell in Canada from their seller in Ontario. And the horn has some engraving done on it which is good too. And at 26$ Canadian I didn't risk much. All in all, I'm pretty glad with what I got!
