14" overall with slightly shorter spout but original from time of use. Profusely engraved with large central panel reading in three lines "MOSES WALCUT HORN MADE AT FORT EDWARDS". A large British coat-of-arms is surrounded by birds, animals, trees and a wonderful, snarling tooth winged horse often referred to as a "hell horse". There is a large panel of standing soldiers with muskets and the date "1758". This well known horn is pictured on pages 28 & 29 in Jim Dresslar's text The Engraved Powder Horn, 1996. Walcut's served in the 5th Connecticut in the 1757 campaign in relief of Ft. Henry and the entire 1758 campaign in Col. Fitch's 3rd Connecticut. Ft. Edward was an important fort on the Upper Hudson River built in 1755 at the site of a French trading post and stayed heavily fortified throughout the French and Indian Wars. This is indeed a magnificent horn with great aesthetics and surface. SIZE: PROVENANCE: Jim Dresslar Collection; An extraordinary private estate collection of a distinguished Virginia gentleman.
