Nice job, looks good

Looks good, but I think you might want to refer to it as deer antler if/when you show it to people. Horns (i.e. cow horns) are made from the same material as hair while antler is from bone.

Looks great! I like all the different colors/shades. I would like to know how well the nib holds up. Also here in Pennsylvania, it's antler..

Sorry yes deer antler

Antlers (deer, elk, etc) fall off and re-grow each year. Horns stay on for the life of the animal (cows, rhinos, rams, etc).

If you ever get your hands on elk ANTLER, try that out too. It is like using buffalo HORN but the reverse color. Instead of black with some brown and white color in the buffalo, it is almost all white with some brown or black. I made a bolt action with gun metal furniture and imop it came out gorgeous.
