has gloss | eng: A powder horn was a device used to carry gunpowder, and was generally created from a cow or buffalo horn. They were most commonly used with eighteenth century muskets, but were rendered obsolete by the development of breech loading fire arms, in particular, innovations brought about by Hall, Sharps, Spencer and the later development of self contained cartridges that were developed and marketed successfully by Oliver Winchester.
