Description
This comprehensive black powder shooting and hunting accoutrement ensemble features a hand-stitched tan leather hunting "possible bag" paired with an array of custom artisan-crafted black powder accessories and loading tools. The set highlights a large scrimshawed natural steer powder horn inscribed with the name "KEN SHORE HIS HORN" alongside geometric border engraving, suspended by a leather carry strap, as well as a matching smaller priming horn inscribed "KAS".
The extensive set of hand-forged, brass, and turned-wood accessories includes two custom fixed-blade knives (one with a antler/stag handle and one with a curly maple handle), a hand-forged lead melting spoon with a twisted iron handle, a pair of cast brass bullet mold pliers, forged iron calipers, gunflints, lead round balls, a leather pouch, a powder measure, nipple wrenches, vent picks, and a touchhole brush on a chain. Crafting techniques and inscriptions suggest a modern custom artisan/living history recreation set (circa late 20th century) built for buckskinner rendezvous, black powder hunting, or historical reenactments.
