I'm afraid that would be a very contingent reasoning
Besides, i am not trying to find how late it is, but how early it could be, if you know what i mean
...Something like early, mid or end XIX century, or even end XVIII century, which would be not so probable ... i would think ?
I realized the aspect of the horn and or its decoration and trimings would help to define an aproximate age.
