Hand made from square section iron and twisted to shape. This pin is known as a Shepherd's crook pin.

It is believed they represent the natural progression from looped pins, and that this type became very common in East-Central Europe. They literally were of the form of a shepherd's crook, resembling a near complete loop with the gap lending these pins their name.

Length: 130mm
Weight approx: 20g

Quite a nice item, especially for the price. I use mine as an awl and hook when doing leatherwork or knotwork, but it could be used as a pin for a looser weave wool cloak or blanket.

Small enough to keep as part of my LARP/Faire kit, in case I need to adjust or fix part of a costume or armor.
