<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 10424036, member: 4727&quot;]Last night, I took a chance and won a powder horn at auction. I wasn’t able to examine the horn in person beforehand so could only go on the auction photos, which aren’t great. Now, I’m cautiously optimistic that the horn is a genuine antique, but am also prepared for the news that it’s modern. Note the lightly engraved animals and plants on the horn. The iron fittings, especially the ring around the thick end, are also unusual. Anyway, I’m sure all will become clear when I receive the horn but, in the meantime, I’d love to know your thoughts on if it could be 200 years old or made last month. Happily the horn didn’t cost much so this is all just a bit of fun!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/KGrYelx.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7bvBkF7.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/vfciPMh.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/82adqRs.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
