- Lot Description
Very finely carved antler horn with a large eagle and a musket in one talon while the other has a sword with CSA.
On the other side Col Nat Forrest and dated 1862. Adjustable shot spout. A place to fill it when it was empty.
Accompanying the horn is a four-page typed document giving a brief biography of Colonel (later General) Forrest, and a detailed description of the horn that is signed by Walter O'Connor and notarized. O'Connor relates how he obtained the horn and states that based on his expertise, having examined over one thousand original powder horns during his half a century of studying these, he believes this one to be exactly what it purports to be.
This antler has a very nice yellow-to-brown patina. It appears to be from the Civil War period based on the iron caps and how they are fastened to the antler. one small bit of the "1" in "1862" missing. Otherwise excellent condition.Condition
