I think a crafty tinsmith made the cygnet portion and attached it to a cut-off horn.

Re: Unusual Cygnet horn
I first thought it was a marriage between the remains of a cyget horn and an early radio horn but I believe Jerry Van is correct. By the way, I read the listing. The seller has included nearly all the elements why I seldom buy anything on eBay except new vacuum cleaning bags and furniture polish.

I'm amused by his last comment in the listing: "IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT A PARCEL SHOULD BE DAMAGED OR LOST I WILL ASSIST THE WINNING BIDDER WITH THE PROOF OF POSTING."
So if there's a problem, he will provide a tracking number showing it left his hands.

Well stated. I never buy from these folks who have more disclaimers than descriptions. They could save a lot of typing by just saying, "Good luck. I am a jerk."
