PICKET PIN, MODEL 1912 REPURPOSED: This m1912 picket pin originally had a semi-pointed end which was driven into the ground to use for tethering the cavalry trooper's horse. The "hammer" head was for servicing the horse's shoes. It was also used as the handle for an entrenching tool by attaching a shovel head to it and securing it with a pin inserted into the hole seen in the body of the pin. This one has been modified for use as a nail puller. I have seen several other of these picket pins modified as a tire tool or prybar but, this is the first like this. It is 12 3/4" long and has had hard use as evident by the condition of the head.
