Howdy folks
Here's a few new "old" horns I just finished. They're not fancy, but they're not supposed to be. They're supposed to look authentic. The Yellowish colored one has Birch plugs holding in the cap. The Priming horn has Copper Plated steel nails, the other 3 have solid Copper nails. They all have the caps sealed with a mixture of 80% bee's wax and 20% Paraffin wax. The primer has a 1 grain charging valve (not period correct I know, but convenient) all 4 have filling holes in the cap with 3/8-16 threaded Brass rod (spark proof) and turned finials. The primer has a turned Acorn finial and all of them have fitted pour spout plugs. Two are antler, one is Black Walnut.
I have to weave straps for them yet then they'll be finished, but I couldn't resist showing them off. https://postimg.cc/gallery/2arxwln5y/
