Well worth 12 bucks, I'm not overly fond of the curve in the horn but I would have dropped 12 bucks on it....

I started shooting at a new local m/l club , trying to figure out how this m/l thing works back in 1972. Saw some of the guys there in the same fix as me had powder horns . So shopped around , went to the mall Penney's dept store as they sold black powder guns , and found a powder horn made in India , with the same valve shown on yours. I gave it to a guy in need years ago , and the valve really worked well. Wish I would have kept it just to copy the valve on it.

The beads alone look old, I have done a lot of hunting and most of those colors just aren't to be had these days.

How long would it take to complete a beaded strap like this? I’m sure it’s not an easy task.

Looks like it was done on a loom and since no 'design' pattern it could probably be done in a day by someone with fast hands, two days working at a leisure pace. If free hand without a loom then a bit longer.

Sometimes an antique mall is the end of the line for many good items that the vendor knows zip about but may be able to steer you to the source. Never hurts to ask. We rent a stall at an antique mall to rid ourselves of stuff we saved but the kids don't want. Many items bring more at the antique mall than they do at gunshows. ...You got a nice horn there. Enjoy.
