It is secured with nine wooden pins. Overall, this horn measures 9 " overall. Condition: Good, as described. Minor chipping at spout and plug. Rim damage is present for approximately 2" on the horn around the plug. There are several vacant pin holes at the plug. This horn is also possibly shortened.
