Made of iron, the tall cylindrical pin measures 13” long x ½” diameter slightly-swelled straight shank. A looped iron rein tie-ring wraps around the top portion of shank. Ring has been bent upwards toward the main shank. Ring still pivots and slides easily. Picket pin body is rusted but in non-flaking condition. Pin color is a deep, chocolate brown patina with an overall general pleasing appearance. A fine, excavated Union cavalry relic from the battlefield at Gettysburg.
