Description
11/3/26 - For sale is a US Army Model 1912 cavalry picket pin. Picket pins were carried by cavalry troopers and driven into the ground to tether their horses on a picket line while in camp or at rest. The Model 1912 was part of the new mounted equipment adopted just before World War I, alongside the M1912 saddle and M1913 "Patton" saber, and was carried in a leather sleeve attached to the saddle. This forged steel pin has the flat T-shaped head, a channeled shank with a tether hole, and a pointed tip, and the head is stamped "BTC." The pin shows a dark, even patina with light surface wear consistent with age and no major damage. A nice piece of early 20th century US cavalry equipment.
