MODEL 1874
AND 1905 CAVALRY PICKET PINS - ARSENAL MARKED:
MODEL 1874 CAVALRY PICKET PIN:
A very nice complete specimen of this relatively scarce
M1874 Indian Wars US Army Picket Pin. Full length and
full form with an unbroken and functional swivel and
ring, this picket pin will make a presentable addition
to your Indian Wars Cavalry display. The shaft is well
marked with the “US” stamp. This model has not survived
in any great numbers and finding one that is complete is
difficult. Overall the pin has some surface pitting,
but given the age and scarcity of this model, this does
not detract from its appearance. There is no sign of
significant wear or use and the surface seems to be the
result of poor storage, versus abuse in the field. $375

upper swivel assembly and no mushrooming to the head or
tip, this pin has does not appear to have been issued.

Manual, this picket pin will be a great addition to your
Cavalry display. $350 |
