Gun Powder Horn with Leather String
Carry your powder like the hunters and adventurers of old. This handcrafted gunpowder horn, made from real ox horn and fitted with a leather strap and brass stopper, is perfect for reenactments and historical events.
This historically inspired gunpowder horn is handcrafted from authentic ox horn, polished and shaped to maintain its natural beauty and historical function. Fitted with a sturdy leather strap, it can be worn over your shoulder or at your side for easy access. A fixed horn cap seals one end, while a removable pure brass valve stopper secures the other, ensuring your powder is always dry and ready. Measuring approximately 12–14 inches, it offers ideal storage capacity for black powder in reenactments or display collections. As this is a natural item, each horn is unique in pattern and may develop character marks with age.
Through misty woods and along perilous coastlines, the sharp crack of black powder echoed as seasoned hunters stalked prey—or pirates prepared to repel a boarding. Each man carried his life in his horn, a vessel of fire and smoke. To "keep your powder dry" was more than wisdom—it was survival. Whether in the hills of the Highlands or the vast colonial frontiers, such a horn was as trusted as a blade or flintlock.
This powder horn is ideal for historical reenactors portraying colonial militia, frontier scouts, pirates, or 18th-century hunters. It’s also a fitting accessory for fantasy gunslingers, witch hunters, or alchemists carrying volatile ingredients.
