The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Very cool, Ric - HAPPY NEW YEAR ! !

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
WOW. I always find it amazing that these physical links back to our ForeBearers are still to be found outside the confines of "Thou Shalt Not Touch" museums. Thanks for sharing.

Really like your style. Can you do powder horns with Scots clan crests inscribed?

Very Nice Waksupi! You do real nice work.

Ah Rick that brings back sad memories... About 30 years ago a friend gave us a batch of cow horns and we made one into a rum horn. My buddy scrimshawed the horn and I turned the spout from a hickory branch and used a fiddle peg for a cap. The nicest looking horn you ever saw, but no one told us it was from a DEAD cow. Nothing we tried could get the rancid taste from the horn! It would rot good liquor and gag a maggot. The powder horns came out al right though but the old flinter did puke them out a little quicker?
Yours is a beauty and I hope from a LIVE cow.

Rick, Rum Cups are very popular at many of the Rendezvous I've attended over the years, but I can't rightly say I've ever seen any with that "button" on them before.
Could that be because it is to fit between the fingers to support the Cup?
I know I've seen a few in camp that were rather plain Jane with a bit of scribbling on 'em, and some were down right pleasing to the eye, but that little "knob", or "Button", or whatever it's called has piqued my interest.
Very Nice, IMO
