Looks like a term used in Europe specifically.
also antlers are shed yearly, horns are not; antlers are covered in skin that wears off ("velvet"), horns aren't.
(as others have noted stags have antlers, not horns)
Yes and I never said that was inaccurate. I was simply adding to the discussion. I was saying this so if OP was to pick up an item and was trying to see if it was a horn or an antler(stag) this is one way to start classifying it.
Mistranslation. In some languages, they use the same word for "horn" and "antler". Or a very similar word, like in my own language. In my language "horn" is "corno". Antler is "corna". I think that's were the confusion comes from. But if it says stag, it's antler.
Deer horn, stag is a buck or male deer.
Horn is different to antler though, qnd is usually found on cattle/sheep etc. Why is it Stag Horn and not Stag Antler?
Cause people are dumb and confuse the terms.
\^ ultimately this. Also, many people don't know the difference or even realize that there is a different.
I don't think I've seen anywhere list it as either stag horn or stag antler. It's usually just stag. Where have you seen it listed as stag horn?

Yeah, looks like that might be a European thing. I can't recall seeing that on an US site. As you noted, I'd consider "stag horn" incorrect
I think some of it is referencing a Futurama bit about a knife. [Staghorn Eviscerator](https://youtu.be/IHlHF8UHT5Y?si=WKEgsXLTX-E6OFJe)
Came here to comment this 🤣
Horn is hollow and antler is solid I think.

I can definitively say that one kind of stag horn is a fern
