Historical Context & Origin

Region: North America / Europe (likely frontier or military use)
Material: Polished cow horn with wood, brass fittings, and cord
Period: Late 18th to Early 19th Century (circa 1780–1830)

Description

This impressive antique black powder horn dates to the late 18th to early 19th century, representing the practical craftsmanship of frontier and military life during the final years of the flintlock era and the beginnings of percussion technology.

Expertly shaped from natural horn, it features a beautifully polished surface with tonal variation from warm amber hues to deep charcoal near the tip. It is fitted with a hand-carved wooden butt plug secured with traditional pegs, a brass attachment plate with suspension ring, and a hand-turned wooden spout section. A woven carry cord remains attached, reinforcing its authenticity as a working piece rather than a later decorative reproduction.

Features

- Authentic late 18th–early 19th century black powder horn

- Polished horn body with striking natural coloration

- Hand-fit wooden butt plug with brass attachment plate

- Hand-turned wooden spout section

- Original-style suspension cord

- Large, display-worthy example measuring approximately 17 inches

Cultural Significance

Powder horns were essential equipment through the colonial, Revolutionary War, and early frontier periods. Carried by soldiers, militiamen, hunters, and explorers, they protected gunpowder from moisture and allowed controlled loading. Examples of this size and preservation offer a compelling connection to early firearms history and the demanding realities of survival, defense, and exploration in the 18th–19th centuries.

Condition

Excellent antique condition with expected age wear, surface marks, and patination from historical use. Wood and brass components remain secure and well preserved. Stable and display ready.
