The term is widely used for any container used for gunpowder, although powder flask is the correct term. These powder horns or flasks were once a trusty companion to a flintlock-wielding Soldier or Hunter from the days of muzzle firearms before pre-made paper cartridges became standard in the 19th century, and they were an important piece of equipment, early flasks were typically made of wood, leather, and horn, rather than ferrous metals that were prone to give off sparks when hit was avoided so they could safely carry gunpowder by keeping it dry and convenient for reloading after every shot was taken, Horn was the preferred medium as it was naturally waterproof and already hollow inside. Usually, these have very long spouts designed to dispense the powder into the gun. Many were highly decorated and were works of art. CONDITION: This gunpowder horn is from the 2010s, this is pre-loved and it appears to have never been used as intended, as it has no smell of gunpowder and it is empty. It is in good condition, it is missing a domed tack from the large bung and the horn has a few chips here and there. It has a single chip that goes through to the inside so it would need to be sealed, otherwise, there are no cracks or damage to the horn which has been finely polished, and is very tactile and smooth. It comes with a hand-crafted sealed wood butt plug, and it has a carved wood stopper. # Please note: The Photographs form part of the description; Super-sized photos can show the finer details and conditions.- Photos do not show the actual size so please read the description page for the exact measurements.
