Original U.S. Naval Gunner's Priming Priming Powder Horn with Patriotic Scrimshaw Engraving c.1812 U.S. Navy Server Your CountryOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is an absulately wonderful early U. S. priming powder horn. Company director Christian Cranmer truly believes this to absolutely genuine and of the period. It is one of the most unusual large horns we have ever seen and came from a private collection on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It measures about 18" 20" overall and has very pronounced curves. The large end has a sheet iron cover with an eye to take a body strap. Part
