They were rare, and they were often more bronze than pure brass, and they were done, as today, for the novelty.

I guess that I got the dime iffen you got the time! I would guess that even with BRONZE in it the attrition rate of them would be a short amount of usage? with screw holes getting out of alignment and main spring tension on the metal. than you for the answer.

My Horne Le Grande purchased online from a maker some of yall may know but whose name I can't recall. Buffer priming horn also visible

My dandy little flathorn for the squirrel rifle.

And an oddity I found on ebay engraved
"Sitting Hawk Creek Nation Chief 72-73" which I thought was just too neat to pass up. Especially living dead in the middle of Muscogee territory near Horseshoe Bend.
