Powder Horn?


Recommended Posts

I think this is a powder horn.

What do you guys think about this. I have no information on this piece but where it was found leads me to think that it is Civil War era. Do you any idea of the value or any information on it?

It is a shot pouch, hard to tell a date from photos but these were used throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Not military. Value is to hunting / fishing collector, fairly common item, $35-$75.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a double shot pouch. That's pretty cool! Any shotgunners out there? What would be the need for carrying two sizes of shot? I can't imagine carrying powder in that second tube (might not stay dry).
