Accepting the 2020 "1 of 1000" Horn from the Honourable Company of Horners
Each year at the Honourable Company of Horners Annual Horn Fair, the guild presents the NMLRA with the "1 of 1000" horn, a one of a kind handcrafted powder horn. This horn is shared by the NMLRA with the members of the 1 of 1000 endowment
Watch as this year's horn is accepted by "Muzzle Blasts" editor, Dave Ehrig before it is taken on the road to display before the September Banquet.
The horn is given away to a randomly drawn 1 of 1000 member each year at the 1 of 1000 member banquet. We'd like to thank the Honourable Company of Horners for their continued support of the NMLRA, and living history education.

This year’s Horn was crafted by Walter Mayberry, and it is a true beauty.
