Description:
Pair of original Civil War era cannon handspikes (aka trail spike). Complete except for one small hanging ring on one, but I have a spare battlefield dug one if the buyer wants it. Wood is solid but for some rot at the ends were they were standing on a dirt barn floor for the past 160 or so years. I think they would still work fine. Also, they have remnants of the original dark green paint.

Two handspikes hung from the cannon carriage (as shown in the last photo for illustrative purposes) and were used as levers to aim cannon horizontally.
