Powder horn gift
« on: August 12, 2022, 08:11:44 AM »



I received this unexpected surprise in the mail yesterday. It was sent to me by a feller I bought a flintlock rifle off of a few years ago. He said he didn't hunt anymore and wanted this powder horn to have a good home. He had it for 35 years and said it was used when he got it. I hope to put it to good use this fall!
