BULL HORN w/SILVER? BAND & INSCRIPTION - FINIAL? TOP OF WESTERN TROPHY?

Can anyone tell me what this is? I thought a trophy because it looks like 2 names, (I used different filters to try to read it better but I still can't) - but I can't make it out (I thought it said 100 km like a race? But a steer horn for a trophy?)
My sister thought it may have been a lamp but there is no fixture inside or even a hole for the wire.
Is the band silver?
Any idea of age?
I appreciate any help - this had belonged to my mom.

 

German bicycle club. Radsport-Verein Schwalbe (martin/swallow) 99, probably founded 1899. 26th 100 km race of flatland, flying like a swallow...
so from 1925, quite old.

 

Silver plate on brass
If you have a Sunshine cloth, you could clean a little of the tarnish off.
I would not use the regular liquid silver cleaners.

 

So it is a trophy right?
PS - Thank you!

 

PS: It says nothing of flatland of course, but as Swiss everything German is looking flat except some girls in Dirndls at the Oktoberfest.

 

yes, a trophy. in 1925 there wasn't much money around, was there ?

 

Trophy yes,but also a drinking horn. https://www.german-toasting-glasses.com/product-category/drinking-horns/

 

it is definitely NOT a drinking horn. since medieval times nobody in his right mind would drink out of such stuff as in that link. out of medical reasons the rims were always of silver. anything else is deco items.

 

Cow horn cups,etc. have been used for centuries with no metal rim.There is no medical reason for a silver rim.They are still used today by the hundreds.... https://www.google.com/search?clien...74.276.4......0....1..gws-wiz-img.wR5bxLrI1XM

 

Journey, is there something in your mother's things that could be a base for the metal part, so it can stand?

 

I agree. Horn is also used for cutlery, as in this thread:

No we emptied her unit picking things we wanted, so we could close her account; after we found this we looked for a bottom but there was none

 

u could always buy one or make one......
it was likely there but you didn't notice it...

 

A very simple one perhaps?

 

I googled 1920s German bicycle racing trophy & then just bicycle racing trophy but nothing like this!

 

Not sure but looks like that stub coming off it would fit into a candlestick?

 

or a holder of some sort.....!!

 

The trophy base/body?
