This horn was buyed at an antiquarian long ago and have no clues on its period or country procedence. Was in fairly good condition except por some bug or mice bites and a faulty mechanism not delivering exact cuantities of BP by its sprout but spreading it all around by some cracks.
Disassembled, cleaned and brazed brass cracks, now works fine, delivering 60, 70 or 80 grains when the iron pin in the picture is positioned under the numbers.
Any info to add or ask?
