✅ SOLVED Another "what is it?"...

[Teamroper]

This item is made of iron and is about 6" long and about 2" wide at the top of the "loop". As you can barely see on the tip, it has a small curved tip on it. Again, this is an item that was found around a Cavalry CW camp. Thanks ahead of time for any info.

Sometimes soldiers would create a hook at the end of whatever they had handy to hang a pot on over an open campfire.
