    Check this out!

    I stumbled upon this whilst perusing "Scottish Antiques" on eBay the other day. I thought I'd share it with the rabble.

    Yes, a bit too expensive for my taste. Despite the obvious blemishes in which the seller states, it is a rather smart looking (decorative) horn nonetheless.

    He says the antlers are missing on one side, but I wonder if they were ever there in the first place. As this is an ornamental piece designed to be worn with the kilt, I would think the other antler would be a big problem. It wouldn't surprise me if the maker only put antlers on one side, in order to avoid inevitable problems.

    Good point, Tobus. I hadn't thought of that.
