The "gimlet" has a screw on the end and was intended to be used to remove broken pieces of friction primers from the vent. It could also serve as a priming wire to poke a hole in the powder bag. This one is in excellent condition.
Stamped just below the loop is, “WATERVLIET US 12 M” indicating it was manufactured at Watervliet Arsenal for a 12-inch mortar. The loop measures 2.34 inches in diameter and the overall length is 23.75 inches. The pick end is twisted with a sharpened edge as you would find on a drill bit.
This implement has a dark patina with some very light surface rust. [jet] [ph:m]
