    Description

    Here is a massive hand forged branding iron with the letters "R" over "H", probably 19th century.  It is so big that I'm not sure if it was used on livestock.  But what else could it be used on?.  It is meant to have a wooden handle that fits over the pointed end and that would have had a ferrule.  All that is now missing.  It measures 10" x 6" at the "RH" end and is 22" long overall, of which16 3/4" is the single shaft.  In excellent used condition.
    I am happy to combine shipping.  Any shipping over payment will be refunded.  Shipping to the USA only.  No returns accepted.
