World History
American Powderhorns. A collection of antiques American powderhorns dating as far back as the French and Indian War. Also muskets, Kentucky Rifles and flintlock pistols.
From the site:
The powderhorn was the companion to every musket in early America. Carried by huntsman, soldier and explorer alike, the powderhorn is an original American art form. They would vary from crude carvings to elegant scrimshaw, depicting scenes from nature, maps, and battles to verse and history.
The horns displayed on this site are from the private collection of Rich Nardi. Rich has been fascinated by colonial American antiques since childhood, and has been collecting now for almost 30 years.
Rich also has researched many of the pieces in his collection; through books, public records and even the US Congress. From horns to Kentucky rifles to sabers - This collection represents the birth of a nation and the people who made it happen.
