c. 1775 Revolutionary War Era, Hand-Wrought military use Anti-personnel and Anti-horse Caltrop (Spike), Choice Very Fine.

Original Revolutionary War Era Hand-Made Caltrop. Each spike measures over 1.25” long. Caltrops were small anti-personnel and anti-horse weapons with 4 sharpened spikes that would be scatted on roads or trails and in streambeds to punture boots or hooves and disable the victim. They were designed with the 4 spikes so there was always one pointing up. Similar to one pictured on page 57 of “Collector’s Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution” by George Neumann and Frank Kravic, 1977.
