Previously sold in these rooms as Lot 7, April 28-29, 2010 Historic Firearms and Militaria Auction.

Condition

2 in. crack in the bottom of the horn that shows its age. Very light scratches do not detract from the overall appearance of the horn. This horn has a nice untouched dark patina and still retains most of the original polychrome out lining the rivers and cities. A small chip on the raised ring at the spout. Some scuffing on the spout. Overall this is a great horn.
