Today's Find!!! An Artillery Gimlet!!

I was searching for artillery shipping plugs, i "think" I dug one, this morning and I saw a picture of a artillery Gimlet.. and it looked really familiar!! I went and looked through all the old tools I had and there it was!! I included two pictures, one from a Civil War relic website and the other is the one I have..

First Picture is from the Internet... the second is mine..
