Dug Civil War Body Hook Bayonet

A rather gruesome Civil War relic, this bayonet measures approximately 11" long with 2" of the end skillfully turned to form a hook. These implements were used after battle or during disinterment to move bodies, minimizing direct contact and reducing disease transmission.
