Description

This is an extremely fine Civil War Artillery Gimlet that remains in excellent condition. It is of all metal construction with swollen end handle measuring 3 inches. The shaft measures 5¾ inches from where it emerges from the handle to the tip. The metal is with an old black finish and is in excellent, undamaged condition. These were used to extract primers that were stuck in the vent holes of the cannon tubes. A fine-looking example. 7690
