Here
are some shots of a campaign style horn I recently completed. I think it
is the first time I ever did a campaign horn with the full F&I style
British Crest and New York Map engraving. It has the stepped down neck
with engrailed edge, a lobe at the butt end for strap attachment and a raised
ring on the neck end for the strap. It is fully engraved in the style of
the "Pointed Tree Carver" with the traditional British crest, and map
of New York starting at the harbor in NYC and extending north up the Hudson
River to Lake Champlain. Towns and forts along the route include Albany,
Schenectady, Forts Hunter, Herkimer, Stanwix; Half Moon, Johnston's home,
Saratoga, Fort Edward, Lake George, Fort George, Ticonderoga, Lake Champlain,
Crown Point. In addition there is the hunter shooting at a buck deer with
flintlock rifle. The horn is colored with nice golden patination and a
light amount of "ageing". This horn measures about 11"
across and approximately 2-7/8" diameter at the butt and is fine for
right-hand carry.
