Description
Civil War
Massive Civil War Period Six Pointed Cast Iron Caltrop
c. 1860 Civil War Period, Massive Six Pointed Cast Iron Caltrop, Anti-Horse spiked metal device thrown on the ground to impede Cavalry horses, Choice Extremely Fine.
An impressive massive size 6-Pointed Iron Calthrop with each spike head measuring about 1.25” and to an overall size of about 3” wide. Caltrops were small Anti-personnel and Anti-horse weapons with 4-6 sharpened spikes that would be scatted on roads or trails and in stream beds to puncture boots or hooves and disable the victim. They were designed so there was always one spike pointing up. A rarely seen extremely large and heavy design, being the first we have offered of this type and is excellent for display.
