Here is one for you folks that like a challenge

who knows...maybe someone will know right away what it is...but personally, I have absolutely no clue. I found this on a site that has relics ranging from 1810-1890 (so far)...seems to be made of copper or brass!? One of the joints is iron as you can see by the rusting. When I first pulled the edge out of the ground, I thought it was a hammer from a rifle of some sort...then I saw the pipe/tube like object attached...and I am lost now. The piece with the pick-like end rocks back and forth...and I think perhaps the other joint was moveable prior to it's rusting. It measures just shy of 2.5" long and about 1.5" high. Anyone!?!?

Not sure about the whatsit. But I would like to let Michelle know that the Gertz Stiens shown are nice. $300.00 to $500.00 range. Maybe more now. I haven't sold any for around fifteen years.

The 'hammer' portion of an old flintlock rifle, I think.
