For your consideration is a super Revolutionary War caltrop found in the Champlain River Valley of Upstate NY in excellent dug relic condition with sharp pointed tips and showing a very rich darkened patina, measuring 2 1/2\". Caltrops are small anti-personnel and anti-horse weapons that have four sharpened points so that when scattered on the ground or underwater, one pointed edge would always be facing up and would slow down or halt an approaching enemy. The exact same example can be found in Neumann & Kravic\'s book,\"Collectors Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution\" on page 57. Please refer to all of the pictures in the photo gallery in regards to size and condition. This is a very RARE and hard to find artifact that will make a stunning display in your collection of Revolutionary War relics.
