I have never tried this on a horn, but epoxy putty might be something to exeriment with. If you could work a bit of dye into it it can be pushed in the voids and filed/scraped/sanded flush after curing. I have used it on other repairs (non gun related) and it is good stuff.

You are right about the epoxy putty. I have used it to repair several old knife scales but didn't think about it for horn repairs. It's good stuff and easy to use. The putty I used was marine putty.

You might consider having a horner turn you a band to cover the repair.
Here is an example of what can be done:
Just a thought.
