Chances are it's a stencil horn, made by one of the major manufacturers and engraved to order. You can find a guide here: http://www.drrick.com/stencil.html and it may also be worth checking some of the threads under Answers to Frequently Asked Questions: http://saxontheweb.myforums.net/viewforum.php?f=66
