This is a screw-tip horn with screw-out button in the butt end for easy filling of the powder horn. It is a close replica of several I've owned or handled. Jay Hopkin's book Bone-Tipped & Banded Horns Volume II shows these horns as East Tennessee, possibly the Nashville area.
I have aged this horn a good bit to make it appear as it was handled and used. The one photo with two horns shown has this one on the top and an original well-patinated horn of the same type for comparison.
