Lets see those horns you carry, from the basic to the works of art.

This is the only horn I have, I forget where I purchased it from, but got it around 2016/2017, took several extant examples and copied some of the art work them with small customization in the name, was originally used for a reenacting impression, it's currently hanging in the closet. Admittedly it is a little busy, but it is the first and only horn I did any form of scrimshaw type work to, it was fun and I'd like to get back into it again.

I Made this horn about 15 years ago. It is simple but it holds powder. I’ll have to try a more ornate one sometime. Love seeing y’alls work!

My horn, when I was living in the Hudson Valley. The Fishkill Supply Depot was the Continental Army's supply hub for most of the war. I lived in the area since birth until this spring (53 years 😮) and wanted to pay tribute to this historical site. (A developer wants to build an IHOP and stores on what is believed to be burial grounds for the soldiers who died there.)

Not busy at all! Elegantly simple and well done, IMO.
