Just made this short start

[Bison Horn]

Made this out of shed antlers I picked up and left over brass rod.  I made it for a .45 cal flinter I got a while back. When I get time I may stain the antler and antique the brass.

I mostly antique stuff through use and abuse!

If you use it, the brass will antique itself.

Yes sirs, but I wanted to try my hand at the antiquing brass that someone had mentioned using gun blue and I figured this would be a good piece to try it on.
