Hussar Horse Hoof ink well set

[J.LeBrasseur]

This is right up there with one of the weirdest things I have purchased, but it is pretty cool and the detail is awesome.

Complete Hussar ink well set with jars etc. Mounted on a original horse hoof with shoe.

There is a similar one pictured on page 57 of Sanders book "Imperial german Hussars 1880-1910" volume 2

That is way cool, and not as wierd as a marble bag made from a bull's scrotum.

Right up my alley! Nice little thing. Where did you find it?

 

[J.LeBrasseur]

A gentleman in Germany contacted me, not long after that it showed up in the mail.

James, as soon as you say those words, you have no choice. You have to buy it. Very cool.

Well it certainly is different..... Congrats James! I wonder if the hoof came from his favourite mount? The next thing you will be buying an elephant leg umbrella stand from darkest Africa!

 

[J.LeBrasseur]

I do need one of them to hold all my swords, do you know where I can find one Brian? :help:

 

[Gustaf]

Hey James,
We have a member who has such a thnig, do you want me to see if he is willing to part with it?

Somewhere there is a horse with a prosthetic hoof.

 

[RoyA]
