Engraved Powder Horn Carved With Soldiers In Battle.

Lot # 134 (Sale Order: 132 of 206)      

According to Jay Hopkins in "Bone Tipped & Banded Horns : Vol. 1" on pages 42 and 43, "the carved details on this horn are a row of Indians and dogs retreating from two armed colonists. It is thought to date between 1760 and 1770. It is probably New England in origin, but is generic enough that it could be from anywhere, including the South. The applied knob and rounded butt decorated with simple groves, could raise the possibility. The butt is turned maple or fruitwood with an applied knob. It is held with eleven roundhead iron tacks. The horn is by an unknown hand." Other images present are what appears to be a horse, a heart, a ship flying a British flag and a stylized female. The horn measures 14 inches overall. Condition: Fair, as described. This horn has a dark, mellow patina. There is a 1/2" by 1/2" chip of missing horn surface and a missing tack. A 1" hairline crack is located at the spout. A small hole is also located just below the butt. Minor chips can also be found on the horn and plug, where they meet. Various scratches and imperfections are also present.Condition:Dimensions:

(a) French Flintlock Officer's Fusil.

Lot # 145 (Sale Order: 143 of 206)      

This scarce circa 1770's officer's fusil features an unmarked round steel barrel. The flat lockplate is marked with traces of "St. Etienne" markings and has a rounded tail and reinforced cock. All the furniture is brass and in the French style; has iron rear sling swivel. The walnut stock is of familiar French form with a French comb and is full length. The barrel and lock were cleaned at some time and now retain a grey patina with scattered spotting and freckling along with some corrosion around touch hole and on lockplate. The lock is original flint and functions well. Brass is unpolished and appears to have had a gilt wash. Triggerguard is broken at rear tang, but both pieces are present. Middle band, band spring, and ramrod are absent. Although the stock is broken at the wrist as well as through the comb, all of the wood, minus a small sliver below the lock, are present.
