Wanted picket post
 

Does anyone know were I could buy the above from in the UK? As the postage is crazy.:)

A WWI one? They turn up on ebay.
One on ebay at £75, £15 postage.

I look again could only find one in USA and Ukraine?

PM sent with item no. (I have no idea re. authenticity etc).

As I understand pointy ones are German, looped end British- unsure if that's hard fact though. Other sources might be outdoor fairs like Beltring or Detling- I bought 2 from Detling 20-25 years ago-£15 each back then. Reclamation yards near you might be worth trying. Regards, Paul.

“Ticket Post”. Can someone please explain what that is? I went to eBay and typed in Ticket Post, all it was showing was concert tickets etc. Anyone? D.J.

just read original post………………….. “P” not “T”!…………………where’s me specs? D.J.

Found it Leigh thanks.

What’s a picket post, is it a bumble pin.

I am guessing from the responses they’re the metal posts you put barbed wire through?

I think it is a metal rod to hold barbed wire with a cork screw at the bottom that goes into the ground.

Luke beat me to it.

The type with a cork screw spike is known as a "silent picket", as instead of being hammered into the ground as a straight one would be it is screwed into the ground.

There’s plenty of the cork screw types in the dunes around the Norfolk coast.

There used to be a fair few around the farms out Cambs way.

Three different length examples in use.
